Disengagement: A Tale of Two Israels?

An Edwardesque headline

Some Palestinians are starting to grudgingly realize that Israel cannot be destroyed militarily. The “Intifada” has brought Palestinians nothing but physical, economic, and emotional pain – and needlessly wasted the lives of so many innocent Israelis.


Of course, the diehard Palestinian terrorist groups like Hamas are balking at any talk of peace. They will probably never give up their delusions of genocide – that is until they are dead and buried. But I would venture that even some Hamas members have taken pause: They have seen dozens of their brethren swatted like flies by Israeli helicopter gunships.


Eventually it will not matter what groups like Hamas believe. If Palestinians as a whole refuse to clean up their own garbage, then Israel must continue to do it for them – no matter what Abu Mazen says in public speeches.


Well put.

I know some Palestinians, and this is a point I've been making to them for years now. But it's like talking to a wall. Way to many people (all kinds of people) confuse what they want the world to be like with what the world IS.
