There is alot of violence on the parts of the residents and on the part of the soldiers.
Regardless of what you think about Amona itself and whther it should be evacuated or not, there is no reason it had to be done like this or right now. The residents were willing to compromise and commit to destroying it themselves. A deal could have been worked out to do this peacefully.
They have been there for years. There is no reason this could not wait a couple more moths until after the elections. Ehud Olmert was not elected PM. he wa sonly placed 33rd on the Likud list. Now that he is given power, he obviously feels he has to use it against the residents in the West Bank, to garner support for himself in the upcoming elections. This is totally inappropriate and an abuse of power.

Just yesterday there were 4 kassam rockets shot into Southern Israel. Did Ehud Olmert use force to quell the unlawful people shooting rockets at Israel? Did Ehud Olmert use force against the thousands of illegaly built homes by Arabs in Israel (or in the West bank)? Not only force, but did he take any steps (even non-forceful) against the above non-law-abiding people? Is it only against the "settlers" he must enforce the law with all force necessary right before elections?
