The fact that Likud does not equal Israel is highly relevant and not just "technically correct".

Wrong. Ariel Sharon ordered a pullout of Israeli settlements from Gaza, but not Israeli troops. Israel still routinely bombs and invades Gaza

1 - The pullout of settlements is moving in the direction opposite to the "greater Israel" idea.

2 - Military action is still taken in Gaza, and blockades are put in place for Gaza, because Palestinian attacks are still launched from Gaza. Its not like Gaza was handed over, and then there was peace and light and dancing unicorns, until Israel, out of the blue decided to go kill a bunch of Palestinians.
