Pity on us all, the chosen people and our country, if we have advocates of the kind seen on this site. Modesty and humaneness, apparently, never appealed to this arrogant and extremist bunch of people. By the way, the article has very poor ideas indicative of narrow mind, arrogance and extremism. Two countries to two people - the sooner the better.

Transfer arobs out. Israel is ours. It is the only safe way for Jews in Israel is to expell arobs. Moshe

Explored every concievable option and route to peace and Palestinian Nationhood At times we got close so very very close only for hopes to be dashed Yet it seems that for now...there is little hope for unity between Hamas and Fatah..simply because Hamas demand the dominant role with control over Finance and Security and a way of life that is anathema to most West Bank Palestinians If you look at what younger Palestinians from the West Bank are saying in Social Media...they believe that a majority in the West Bank are beginning to be reconciled for the moment to go it alone perhaps in a loose federation with Jordan and not be held back or indeed held to ransom in unity with Hamas and their paymasters in Iran Broken free from any Hamas and Iranian influence it will be much easier for Fatah to normalise relations across the West Bank with Israel but will require Fatah to face up to a deep rooted expunging of institutionally promoted hatred of Israel and Jews in the West Bank which does nothing to foster cooperation trust and reconciliation. And it will also require that Netanyahu and Abbas finally come to define and demarcate the borders once and for all..so settlement building does not remain an issue

Melzer, and most of the responders, confuse two issues. One is the continued Israeli military occupation, the other is the settlement movement. There seems, at the moment, no substitution for the military government, but there is no excuse for continued settlement, which makes any future peace, no matter how far off, almost impossible. It is settlements, not military rule, that is rotting much of Israel.
