Israel's evacuation of settlers from their homes in Gaza and North Samaria provided a real time opportunity to examine social workers' attitudes towards offering their services in controversial political situations. This study, conducted shortly before the evacuation, is a qualitative examination of the attitudes of 108 Israeli social workers towards offering professional services to the evacuees. Findings show that while most respondents supported social worker involvement, around a quarter either qualified their support or objected outright. Calls are made to ensure that professional services and resources become available to persons of all political persuasions and in all political situations.

The Green Line refers to the manmade boundary separating Israel from the West Bank created after the 1948–1949 War of Independence (Newman, 2002). The settlements are beyond the Green Line, which still serves as the default line in negotiations on territorial modifications
