An important theory has always been for Israel to leave the occupied territories as a precursor to negotiations with the peace maintained by international troops. Supposedly, such a move would result in strengthening Arab moderates and marginalizing radicals.

That approach was tried by Israel in 2000 in Lebanon and in 2005 when it left Gaza. When leaving Gaza, it uprooted settlements, bulldozed synagogues and left a thriving flower export business to jump start the local economy. In response the Arabs in Gaza burned the donated green houses. Radicals of Hamas devoured the moderates, and land for peace failed.

Explain to me why the approach would work this time based on the last century of experience in dealing with the Arabs?

I don’t think the US has any business there. Not our fight. Not our problem. Not our circus and not our monkeys.

I also don’t think this type of activity will work. The issue isn’t that there are no jobs in Gaza. The issue is they are cousin marrying Muslims who believe Islam should kill all non Muslims.

It is impossible to make peace with people that barbaric and ignorant.
