Thousands march to challenge Gaza pullout in Israel
Thousands of Orthodox settlers and supporters faced police in Netivot and Jerusalem as they demonstrated against Israel's plan to pull out from Gaza. After a two hour stand off they agreed to spend the night near Kfar Maimon and resume marching toward Gaza today. Police deployed about twenty thousand across southern Israel to block the demonstration and prevent bus boarding. Demonstrators, many wearing orange, urged Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to resist the pullout while warning that exiting Gaza could boost Hamas.
