JERUSALEM, Israel – The August 15 anniversary of Israel's forced removal in 2005 of nearly 10,000 Jews from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria, often called the Disengagement, has come and gone. But the consequences of that decision by the Sharon government, backed by the Bush administration, live on.
