The real solution is for Israel to invest in "Palestinian" departure. Instead of insanely investing in making our mortal "Palestinian" foes more comfortable in our land. Instead of investing in work permits, electric grids, even (most lunatic of all) building cities for "Palestinians", invest in compensation packages to foster their permanent departure.

"Palestinians" are already leaving our land by the tens of thousands annually. With some good carrot and stick incentives, we could raise these numbers to hundreds of thousands annually.

thanks. i enjoyed your 'vision' of what's going on, on the ground. the PLO is a hostile state and its citizens are raised to be. and the UN & EUros and US State Dpt pays them to occupy their citizens as corruptly as possible. While blaming Israel. I agree with your leftist friend... when there's nothing to do and nowhere to go, best solution is strengthen ourselves, build up what divisions we can maintain, and otherwise 'idle'. no need to worry about lethargy: hizbullah and hamas and PLO and Iran and Assad (plus big 3--UN Euros & State Dpt) forcing this kind of defensive peace upon us. our job's to survive them all.
