He thinks he's pessimistic? My view is that they should drop daisy-cutters on the Palestinians. But okay, try the wall first, if you want.
There's always the bright side. You can now use long range artillery to pound them.
The fact is that there is no glue on earth that can even glue a muslim to a muslim. The kill each other far more than infidels and have for thousands of years. It is only because we are allowing these cavemen to live in modern citys that buses are blowing up.
Frankly they cannot make good explosives, or buses. Just death and destruction. Its a death cult thing. Without other efforts to advance society, they would be walking around puddles of oil to keep from tracking it into the tent.
This author is half brainwashed. His statement of "fact" that surrendering land to the cultists is an increase of security is a good example. The land surrendered is now launch pads and terrorist training camps. How does this increase security? A better solution would to have declared war back on the agressors, taking back Gaza from the Arab invaders.
Here is the basic fact of ME policy. It is one that we, as America, fail to recognize all too often. In order for two groups to "connect" they must either believe close to the same thing, or one group cannot care how their society works.
Once you have a society that actually cares how their society functions, then any idea that contradicts that function is unacceptable. That works for Palestinians, Israelis, Pygmies, and Americans.
That is why we have two parties in our system of government. We have two groups working to form government to their own ideals. We are fortunate that the two main differences of ideals between Democrat and Republican are close enough to each other that we can live in relative peace.
However, when two fundamentally different societies come together in close proximity, and claim the same piece of land, you will always have trouble. One must win the struggle. They will never live together in peace.
If Israel truly wants peace, then they will have to look back in history to when they entered the Promised Land. At that time, they destroyed the Canaanites totally. There was nothing left of them to continue a struggle.
