Depressing
I do understand this decision. I can see why the settlers would not want to see Palestinian flags flying over their homes, and why the homes themselves do not meet the needs of the overcrowded Palestinians. But doesn't spending 50 to 60 million dollars to raze these perfectly beautiful homes seem like an awful waste?

I was thinking the same thing . Do you really think the Palestinians have no use for the homes, or just that they don't want to live in homes once inhabited by Israelis ?
I think they would be happy to live in homes once owned by Israelis. After all, they want the entire land currently occupied by Israelis.
I think this is a move top mollify the Israeli Gaza residents who don't want to see their homes inhabited by those who forced them to leave.
I understand. It just seems like such a waste. Adds insult to injury when it comes to the disengagement.
I'm with you on this one; it's not like either side has extra $ (or shekels) lying around to destroy millions of dollars of houses and agricultural land.
