"""The idea that there could be a Palestinian state by 2008 is simply divorced from reality and dangerous," he said. "Such a state would act to undermine the State of Israel.""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you
The palestinians should never be allowed to have a state on the West Bank. If this happens it guarantees another Middle East war within 5 years. A "moderate" leadership may be the first government of a new state, but who can guarantee that Hamas or Islamic Jihad will not take over??
Israel should drive the palestanians over to Jordan and fight them from there. Better to do that than fight a state that almost cuts them in half and is dedicated to their destruction. Once they have diplomatic privileges it will be abused by all the Arab neighbours to arm the new state for when they attack Israel. A treaty should be signed between Israel and the US that clearly states that an attack on Israel will be treated just like an attack on the US, with all the consequences that would bring.
Personally I would like to see Israeli forces in Iraq fighting alongside Coalition Forces.
