	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gaza

		The era of Gaza, found on its coins and on numerous pagan and Christian inscriptions, dates from a journey of Pompey through Palestine, 28 October, 61 B.C. Gaza is mentioned only once in the New Testament (Acts 8:26), in connection with the route followed by the eunuch of Queen Candace.
		Gaza, now a Christian city, became rich and prosperous; and during the fifth and sixth centuries was the seat of a famous school of Christian rhetoricians.

	Gaza Withdrawal
		Gaza disengagement needs to be evaluated on the assumption that it will result immediately or shortly in the loss of Israel's ability to control Gaza's borders with the world.
		While, ostensibly, the plan would leave Israel in control of Gaza's borders to enable it to prevent the large-scale introduction of advanced weapons and hostile elements from across the border with Egypt, from the sea, or into Gaza's airport, this is camouflage or sugar-coating reality.
		Furthermore, in Gaza there has been a one-kilometer-deep buffer zone inside the fence in which Palestinians are not permitted to construct homes or cultivate fields that could be exploited for purposes of infiltration.

	Gaza Strip Pullout May Boost Sharon Image (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The heart-rending scenes of Israel's Gaza withdrawal — families uprooted from their homes, anguished worshippers praying as their synagogue was emptied — could be a big image booster for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, showing the world his nation's sacrifices as he redraws Israel's borders.
		And because Israel will still control Gaza's air and sea space, at least for the time being, as well as the movement of goods and people into and out of the strip, Palestinians doubt whether Israel's 38-year occupation is really ending — and whether the pullout will help improve Gazans' daily lives.
		They also fear that Sharon will try to portray the Gaza pullout, with its images of kicking settlers being dragged away by their limbs, as such a large sacrifice that no further concessions should be required of Israel.

		Heightening the president's new Gaza security dilemma is the fact that Israel is planning to retain control of the "Philadelphi" corridor that separates Gaza from Egypt, as well as the sea and air space around Gaza, in order to prevent the smuggling of terrorists and weapons into and out of the Strip.
		But this will enable the terrorist groups within Gaza to claim justification for continuing their attacks on Israel and refusing to disarm on the grounds that Israel has not really ended its occupation.
		In order to avoid the collapse of the Gaza economy, the president will need to turn to the European Union and the United Nations to repeat the efforts they undertook during the Oslo negotiations to rebuild the Gaza economic infrastructure and supervise quick-start employment projects that could begin to put Gazans back to work.
