Disengagement's opponents are against it for three reasons. One, they believe it will harm national security because it may be perceived by the Palestinians as a reward for terrorism, as the 2000 withdrawal from south Lebanon was. Two, they believe it's a great tragedy that people who have lived in Gaza for decades, who were encouraged by various Israeli governments to move there, are now being uprooted from their homes. Three, some of them -- though they downplay this reason because they know it doesn't sell -- believe ideologically that it's wrong to give away any part of the Land of Israel.
