the basics are this:
the Isrealies and the Palastinian leaders have been going back and forth about peace for years. Just when they get close to an agreement something happens and it stalls. So the jewish leaders decided that the best way to move towards peace to to evacuate gaza and let the arabs have it. There are some hardline jews living in gaza who are now refusing to leave and the government is forcing them to against their will.
It would be like if your town decided to surrender one of it's neighborhoods to the neighboring town and you lived in that neighborhood. They are forcing you to leave ( the government will pay for your move and buy you a new house ) but you decide this is your home and you are not going so the police show up at your door step and take you out by force.
It's a bad move by the isrealie leadership because all they are doing is causing a rift among their own people and showing to the world that terrorism, if carried out long enough, can work.
Also it will settle nothing, this part of the world has known nothing but bloodshed since before recorded history, there is no reason to think it will stop now.
