Now you are talking my language, SteyrAUG, it is the height of idiocy to believe that we can ever dissuade the Palestinians/Arabs to cease and desist their agressive behavior towards Israel.
You know what the final 'sticking point' was in Ehud Barak's offer to Yasser Arafat back in 2000 at Camp David?
A divided Jerusalem?
Nope, Barak was prepared to cave even on that!
Answer: A Palestinian 'right of return' to the land owned in 1947! There would be approximately 3,000,000 Palestinians that would insist, or at least have the right to return, not to the West Bank, not to Gaza, but to the State of Israel itself!
Since there are only 6,400,000 Israelis altogether, and around 1,400,000 of them are Israeli Arabs, suddenly the Israeli Jews would wake up one morning with an almost even split of Jew and Palestinian living side by side!
Not on the West Bank, not in Gaza, but in Israel, itself!
Now, how long would these Palestinians wait before their version of the Night of the Long Knives, or [i][b]Kristallnacht[/b][/i], was put into motion?
About as long as it took to load a few AK mags!
No bombs, please, we gotta live here afterwards, remember!
