here we go again - will it ever end? Not bloody likely

I understand what is meant by Palestinian Authority. I understand (though disagree with) the term Occupied territory. I am entirely unfamiliar with Palestinian Territory. The author also uses the term West Bank. Is there a difference?

This train derailed before it even started moving.

The only hope is to adopt the rational proposals of Martin Sherman and Jerry from the Netherlands. Let the Arabs riot and end the corrupt Fatah occupation that has brought nothing but misery. Negotiate with the authentic local leaders: mukhtars and family heads. Annex the Jewish regions and sparsely populated areas to Israel, giving the Arabs living there full citizenship in exchange for loyalty. Encourage the fanatics that support Fatah to emigrate.

soft diplomacy among Palestinian Arabs to assist their entry in the modern Western civilization. Israel must recognize the call of times to move away from the Jewish culture towards the Western - American Enlightenment. This common platform can be the recipe for peaceful coexistence with the Druze, Beduin, and Arab people.

If Israel were to drift away from Jewish culture in favour of western - American culture then it really would have no right to exist. Israel was created not to create another America, it was created to be a Jewish state. That is why its been at war with the arabs since even before independence, Jews wanted a Jewish state & arabs didn't. Take away the Jewish dimension and the MORAL thing to do is hand the country to the arabs lock stock and barrel. The land should be controlled by the people who it means something to ideologically and if the Jews now just want another America at the expense of the concept of a Jewish state then the Jews do not deserve the country but the arabs do. Let the Jews who want another America rather than a Jewish state move to America where they can earn more money and live that secular western lifestyle.

There will be no time bomb. Israel is a strong country. It can deter any time bomb. Israel has the capability to deal with any challenges pose by its enemies.

Why the need for rioting? Doesn't PA purport to be a democracy? Surely the PA must have general elections coming up soon, or did I miss them. Pals will then have a chance to change the government as other countries do. Further, how is it also possible for the PLO still to have observer status at the UN? Surely they are no longer the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. I wonder how keen members of the General Assembly will be to change the status from Observer to Voting Member if Hamas represents the Pals.

West bank is 1967 boarders, PA territory what is referenced as area A where the PA has security and civilian control (enclaves)

Its true Israeli has a strong military, but why the Netanyahu government rushed to the Aid of the PA with 250 Million NIS just 2 weeks ago??? The PA has provided Israel with great service, collecting garbage, managing schools cleaning streets yet with NO real control and Israel enjoyed security and the luxury of expanding the settlements , The Jewish state became so strong it’s not seeing anybody including the big guys. The next intifada will drag Israel into slow bleeding of resources and no US or EU will be a big help, by then they will have their own economic problem and will be tired of the spoiled kid and the Jewish lobbies. Israeli then will have to give up the West Bank or continue the path of slow destruction, Fast forward 10-15 years from now, that what exactly will happen.

the territory of Judea and Samaria has always been and shall always bee the land the belongs to the Hebrews. The arabs are the only occupiers and in 47 the partition was wrong and in 67 it was corrected. The oslo death accords was designed to deport and ethnically cleanse jews from the land. Yeasha is Israel, plain and simple

Why don't the Arab ministers in Israel donate their entire salary to the Palestinian cause? At any rate they are receiving it free just for cursing Israel.

Before you start going off and babbling like a litter Tarzan happy with his toy. The question is, Do you have a second passport? Why a good number of Israeli Jews have a second Passport? Why many Israeli Jews including thinkers and politicians are not sure of Israeli existence 50 years from now?
