Yediot Aharonot poll of settlers:
52% say they will use their bodies to resist Gaza evacuation
10% say they will use physical violence
42% say they will hole themselves in their homes
38% say they will evacuate without resistence
47% support violating the law in this situation
30% support wearing orange Star of David (resembling yellow star Nazis force Jews to wear) as means of protest
Today's front page of Maariv has a photo of Israel Defense Forces Chief Moshe Ya'alon with the following main headline (translated from the Hebrew):
"I'm worried"
Above the headline is the following quote (apparently from Ya'alon as well): "Thousands of soldiers have signed: We will refuse orders"
The subheadline/kicker reads: Right-wing activists claim: Among the signers to refuse evacuation orders are hundreds of conscripts; IDF Chief: 'We have to be very careful about things being said'
Also on the front page is a photo of four Gush Katif children, one of them a toddler with a pacifier in his mouth and the others I would guess to be no older than 12. They are all wearing orange Stars of David on their chests.
My take on the situation: Settlers have run the country for decades. Their reign is coming to an end. They know it and they're desperate.
