The editors believe that, As the day for implementing the insane Disengagement Plan approaches, the Yesha Council and the residents of Gush Katif must see to it that there are no unsupervised, irresponsible actions. Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, recalls the remark of a settler leaders several years ago regarding the relative lack of success of the settlement movement: We havent succeeded in settling in the hearts, and dismisses Monday nights as, an act of stupidity. The editors believe that, One would have to be a complete fool in order to stage operations like these, which cause settlers to be hated even more by all those people whose only fault is that they have cars and want to get home safely. __________ Yediot Ahronot comments on yesterdays dedication of the new Yad Vashem museum and says that its main role will be in educating future generations about the lessons of the Holocaust once the remaining survivors pass on.
