Wonderdog,
I don't see how your metaphor works. Rameses was trying to make the Jews stay in Egypt, not leave. Who is Rameses in the current situation, the settlers or the Israeli police?
Agreed the metaphor wasn't perfect. It was hyperbole meant to arouse some indignation over these events. Of which there seems to be much lacking (and of which there would be plenty were these Palestinians rather than Jews).
Ramesses is the current world order (of which the Israeli police are conduits) which has led to this sad turn of events. True, he was trying to make the Jews stay, but only to enslave them and kill them at his caprice.
When a Jew is being physically restrained against his will and forced to surrender his freedom, what part of "let my people go" doesn't apply?
Wonderdog,
I've got a different take on these events than you. As sad as the pictures on everyone's TV screen have been and as much as I regret seeing intracommunal strife between Jews I see the Gaza disengagement as a very hopeful event, one for which the Bush adminsitration deserves some credit. Check out the latest posting on my blog if you want to see my views in detail.
