I think it's amazing that Israel is actually giving the strip back to the muslims. I never thought that would happen. There seems to be real movement towards peace now that Arafat is dead. Sucks to be a settler. They bet on the wrong horse.

I'm not much on the goings on or history behind the Gaza Strip, but I had heard that some of those folks that settled there had built thier houses illegally, meaning that they didn't own the land they were on they just "settled" there. I may be wrong, so don't jump my shit! Just looking for clarification.

I think its a mix of both legal and illegal according to Israel law. The thing that worries me is there's really 4 factions involved with this: the Israel government/military, the settlers (who could start a real shit-storm if they wanted to), Hamas/other militant groups, and the Palestinian security forces. Any slip up from any of these groups could make this get real ugly real fast.
Settler shennanigans of burning houses and a couple fringe people attacking Palestinians isn't helping a whole lot either.
