Two times the Palestinians have been offered a state and two times they have refused. The five main settlement blocs will remain under Israeli control and be settled by Israelis. To try to to force the 250,000 Israelis from these blocs will result in a civil war within Israel pitting Jews against Jews. That will not happen.
Israel does not have to give one square inch of the West Bank. You have never refuted the 1922 League of Nations Mandate and Article 80 of the UN Charter. Technically speaking Israel owns every square inch of the West Bank and is under no legal obligation whatsoever to cede land. Furthermore, one could argue that this is land that Israel won in a defensive war. If you attack a country and lose than you should expect some severe repercussions (ie: land loss). Is this not how European nations have established their current borders?
There will not be a land for peace deal until Hamas / Fatah recognizes the right for Israel to exist. Period. The proposal from Saudi Arabia does not do this.

For those who has not figured it out I do not give up easily. I thrive in atmospheres in which I am going against the flow. Unlike prez and Nut and a number of other Ajarn posters, I typically stay away from insults. Expect to see more of me in the coming months upholding conservative values and supporting Israel at every level. Like Rush, I love pissing liberals off.
Thanks for your wonderful suggestions Nick.
