Clinging to their home, settlers 'try not to think of the end'    view story

With its paved streets, stucco homes and the occasional manicured lawn, this community of 60 families looks like a peaceful Southern California suburb - until you look up. Each settlement in Gush Katif has its own gated entry guarded by armed Israeli soldiers. The settlers live behind two fences - one electrified, one of barbed wire. Security cameras scan the perimeter at night. Every settler is issued an M-16 by the army, and most have personal sidearms and bulletproof vests. |
