Many people just don't get what's going on here.
Olmert and his gang are not giving up land in order to get peace. They are making peace in order to give up land. The goal is to dismember Israel. Peace is just the excuse.
For years they said "Land for peace." And we fought them, because (a) it won't bring peace, and (b) even if it does, we still have no right to surrender what G-d gave us.
But they've been fooling us all along. It was never about peace. They don't want Israel to be a Jewish State. In order to de-Judaize Israel, they need to rid themselves of all the areas that give Israel a Jewish charactor and invoke a feeling of Jewish identity. So, they preach about painful concessions for peace.
And when Oslo didn't bring peace, they did Oslo II, and Wye, and Hevron, and Taba, and Tenet, and Mitchel, and the "Road Map"...
And some fools actually fell for it, and continued to sing songs of peace. While most Israelis began to realize we can't have peace with the Arabs, but were still stupid enough to think the leaders still believed in peace.
So, when the Arabs wouldn't take the land from us in exchange for peace, they said "fine. Don't give us peace. Just pretend, so that we can have an excuse to surrender the land."
And when the Arabs refused to even pretend they want peace, the evil Israeli traitors hatched up a new plan. Till now, they said we must surrender land, because peace is possible. Now they said we must surrender the land, because peace isn't possible. They called it "disengagement" (and the normal Jews suddenly became known as antidisengamentarianists). And they attached a catchy slogan to it. "Us here and them there" (Nevermind that when Rav Kahane said it, they banned him from the Knesset). And so, if the Arabs won't take land from us, we will force it on them unilaterally.
And the masses that are asses bought it. Sure, many disagreed with it, but for the most part, Israelis thought it was a misguided move intended to enhance Israel's security.
Can you imagine all kinds of Jewish laymen trying to explain to Arik Sharon - arguably the most brilliant General in modern Israel's history - that the disengagement is a tactical mistake?!?
These people actually thought Sharon didn't know his "disengagement" was a terrible danger to Israel! Of course he knew. HE DIDN'T CARE!
And now that they can't sell "unilateral disengagement" to the public, they came up with the latest concoction. Retreat in exchange for a promise of temporary peace. Anything to unload this unwanted Jewish baggage.
And you believe Olmert believes the Arabs will maintain a cease fire for even one hour? If so, you are the fool, not him. Olmert knows damn well that there is no peace with the Arabs. They all know it.
Say what you want about Peres, Y"S. He's evil, but he's no dummy. You think he was really fooled by Arafat? You think Peres really believed Oslo would usher in a new era of peace and love and brotherhood?
Peres knew, and Bibi knew, and Barak knew, and Beilin knew and Sharon knew, and Olmert knows. (Perhaps Rabin didn't know. He was always too drunk to know what day it was).
It's not about peace. It never was. Peace was the decoy, and we fell for it. It was always about the land. They are willingly - knowingly - putting Israel in grave danger, in a desperate effort to prevent Israel from being synonymous with "Jew." They completely understand the risk from the Arabs, but to them, the greater risk is the Jew. Being destroyed by the Arabs is preferable to being a Jewish State. It is a risk worth taking.
And this is what Peres means when he talks of a "calculated risk."
So, please, stop talking about how stupid this move is, or about how dangerous this is. It is a given. Instead, we must focus on how evil it is, and fight it from that perspective.
These monsters don't simply disagree with us. They aim to destroy Israel as we know it.
