No comparison... nope, none at all.

<bitter irony warning> I am so happy and relieved that the president of Israel has cleared it all up for us now--there is no connection between the expulsion and Tisha B'Av. You see, this time Jews will merely deport fellow Jews. The rest of the world will be glad to take care of the rest: imprisonment, murder, desecration. But this expulsion is a good start. </bitter irony warning>

PRESIDENT KATSAV: NO COMPARISON BETWEEN TISHA B’AV AND DISENGAGEMENT

(IsraelNN.com) President Moshe Katsav on Sunday afternoon met with members of the Gesher organization which promotes dialogue between Israelis.

During the event, the president told Rabbi Chaim Druckman, a prominent nationalist rabbi and leader of Bnei Akiva that a comparison cannot be made between Tisha B’Av and the disengagement, adding that the disengagement is not destruction and not the end.
