Dear Editor,
Eric Carey ("How to break a Mideast logjam" 6/14/10) believes that removing 500,000 Jews from the West Bank and Jerusalem would be a "step in the direction of peace". How ethnic cleansing is a path to peace I will never understand. But there is a precedent - a test case that demolishes Mr. Carey's theory.
Israel actually removed all 8,500 Jews from Gaza in 2005. The result was catastrophic. Since the deportation, the Gazans launched thousands of rockets and mortars into Israel. Why would Israel fall for that again by doing the same in the West Bank?
