‘Land for peace’ will not work when the vast majority of those arrayed against Israel are religious and ideological driven by hate, antisemitism, anti-zionism, and the end all destruction of the state of Israel, period.
To many of them, the acts of terrorism committed against Israel are justified in that there is no such thing as ‘innocents’ in Israel, only occupiers.
Dividing Jerusalem will NOT solve the problem(s) when the problem(s) run far deeper than otherwise being admitted. Likewise, dividing Jerusalem and creating a Palestinian state will NOT end the violence and terrorism aimed at the state of Israel.
‘Land for peace’ is simply a pacifying move that solves nothing. Land now given means that those arrayed against Israel will simply assert in the future that they want more Israeli land and so on, till there is nothing to be called ‘Israel’ but the ultimate Arab-Muslim goal: the reemergence of the true Palestine.
Thanks for the post Cranked..(and everyone)
You are EXACTLY right! It has never worked and it will never work.
Fortunately Benjamin Netanyahu has ALWAYS understood this.
He “GET’S IT...
He is the right Prime Minister Of Israel...And the USA should be exceeding glad he is in power.
I do not know what it was...but I knew 3 - 4 years ago that he would get “re-elected” as Israel’s PM for the second time.
Right man...”For a time such as this”!
Peace,
Dan
