Tish B'Av and the Expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif

[muman613]

The crooked Israeli government decided to evict the good Jews of Gush Katif from their homes during the time of Tish B'Av.... It started on August 13, 2005 and the gestapo started crushing skulls on the 15th of August (in 2005 Tish B'Av was on August 14th)...

This will go down in history as a great Shame on the heads of the Jewish people. Jews evicting Jews from their land...

Baruch Hashem my Chabad Rabbi is showing a video tonight on the tragedy of the Gush Katif expulsion and the errors of the Oslo catastrophe... I thank G-d that my Rabbi is rational, leans right-wing, and knows that the current Israeli leaders are pathetically unprepared to lead us.

Another good documentary on the horrible expulsion of Jews from their homes.

Please verify is this is true. And if it is inaccurate, could someone fix Wikipedia?

A 2010 poll in Israel revealed the some 22% of Israelis fast on Tisha B'Av; another 52% honor the day by avoiding entertainment and not going out with friends.[26]

I find it strange that only 22% of Isrealis fast. it's a very low figure, even if the poll included non Jews. Also, it would mean that 48% of Israelis use netertainment on this day, which also would amount a great percentage of Jews.

I searched for the site from which they take the numbers, and it seems to imply that 22% fast AND avoid entertainment, while 58% only avoid entertainment. That would mean that 74% at least avoid going out, but anyway it seems strange that only 22% fast.
