Not good enough, They have to remove checkpoints, tear down the wall-which of course only exists to encouage apartheid, not at all because it drastically reduced suicide bombings-allow anyoen who claims to be a Palestinain refugee-and there are 6 million + people who fit the Pali definition of refugees, and then dismantle their govt and have the Palestinians place all Israeli Jews under military rule. Then there can be genuine peace and harmony.

This sh!t keeps up and the next thing we will see is Israel giving up bunches of hate filled terrorists in return for 1 normal God fearing human being or something of the like in an exchange....

Naw, even politics couldn't make for such a stupid decision.
