But diplomats warn that the change in US policy is breaking apart the "quartet" - the US, European Union, Russia and the United Nations - that launched the road map.

A. Who cares what diplomats think?

B. US out of the UN. UN out of the US.

But look at the positive side. Fewer Jews will die at the hands of Islamofascists. I am sure the "diplomats" appreciate that fact. Right???

Slowly but surely were smoking out who's with us and who's against us.

The battlelines are being drawn.

GOOD!

How many inocent Israelis have been murdered since this road map was put in place anyway. Since we're dealing with terrorists who don't want peace in the first place anyway, this road map, although well intentioned, never had half of a chance. It's best we face the terrorists' true intentions now, before they acquire WMD, rather than later.

If these diplomats are supposed to be so smart, why don't they realize this simple truth. Oh I know, they too want the destruction of Israel. Sorry but that just isn't going to happen, Israel will survive.

..consumed 2,850 acres of Palestinian land and will give only limited access for 72,000 people to their farmland

That would be roughly .04 acres per person (assuming it's all farmland and they are all farmers). That's some efficient farming!

Could we make it watertight?

Back in Iowa, there's a saying: "Good fences make for good neighbors".

In this case, good fences make for living neighbors.

They should threaten to move it a kilometer east every time a terrorist attack occurs.

It would be interesting to see if the terror would stop before the fence fronted on Mecca.

The Israelis shouldn't be building a fence.

They should be sowing a minefield about a kilometer deep.

With Mahmoud Abbas, then Palestinian prime minister, by his side in the White House, he told reporters: "It is very difficult to develop confidence between the Palestinians and Israel with a wall snaking through the West Bank."

Bwahahahhaaha!

Confidence between Palestinians and Israel....please...ohhhh please...you're killin' me!!

(good fences make good neighbors.)

Bringing it back to the basics, I have a question:

Isn't the Gaza Strip and West Bank part of Israel?

OK, two questions:

Why doesn't the IDF reclaim these areas and 'deport' anyone that does not want to live by Israeli laws? Heck, are these Palestinians even classified as Israeli citizens?


deport = probably have to kill half of them because they'd shoot back.

A wall is not the answer; freeing the Palestinians of their terrorist leadership, is.

A wall will help make the possible by depriving the Palestinians of their "Terrorism" Card. That along with creating incentives for Jews to settle in large numbers in the biblical birthplace of the Jewish people, will eventually bring the Palestinians back to the negotiating table. The Palestinians will agree to far less generous terms only when they finally understand that if they don't settle on terms they can get, they will lose everything. And no one in Israel is prepared to give them a state under current circumstances, the efforts of the "Quartet" to the contrary notwithstanding. In undermining peace, the Palestinians have displayed the knack of being their own worst enemies.
