Even before Sharon's historic decission regarding Gaza, I always stated that Israel must pull out of Gaza and the West Bank (however, for the West Bank - Israel should be able to make the borders considering the facts on the groung). The reason I stated was not because Israel was wrong in wanting to occupy land to defend itself; Israel needed to do something to stop Arabs from constantly trying to destroy it. My reasoning had to do with the World Opinion. Leftists (and anti-semites) around the world will always state that Israel is not acting under international law and has no right to occupy Arab land (they never cite the fact that Israel is fighting for its life). However, with Palestinians given their own land, Israel has every right under "international" law to attack.
As the recent events have shown, the Palestinians only want to destroy Israel. Therefore, when they act on this desire Israel will have every right to defend itself. They are no simply protecting themselves against an attack from their neighbor (in this case, Gaza).
Side Note: Leftists around the world love to slam Israel. However, where is the outrage over the abduction of an 18-year-old named Gilad and two other supposed kidnappings by Palestinian terrorists over the past week (yesterday, one of these victims was killed by Palestinian terrorists. On top of this horror, the Palestinian government (Hamas) actually condones these action.
One more note: As I search the news stories on this, I find more appalling news. France (no surprise) committs another act of anti-semitism. They are no condemning the actions that Israel is forced to take after an Israeli solidier is abducted (and this solidier is actually a FRENCH citizen).
