Further building by Israelis in Gaza undermines the “two state solution” for peace. Without the creation of two separate states, in ten years Arabs will outnumber Jews in the West Bank, Gaza, and even in Israel itself.
Israel’s chief negotiator with the Palestinians, Foreign Minister Levini, said recently on 60 minutes that peace is “unthinkable” with all the settlers in Gaza. When she was asked about the difficulties of moving all the settlers back to Israel she replied, “It’s not going to be easy. But this is the only solution.”
Israel pulled out of Gaza years ago, and it was a complete diaster as the Arabs not only mindlessly destroyed everything worthwhile abandoned by the departing Jewish community (like food production facilities), but actually increased both their demands and terrorist activity subsequent to the departure. (Gee, who could've seen that coming?).
I believe you're referring to the Jews in the W. Bank, not Gaza. ...a far larger (and thankfully ever-growing) community. Livni and other brain-dead libs on both sides of the Atlantic are deluded beyond description if they believe that if the Jews in the W. Bank were forceably removed from their homes that it would result in anything other than a complete disaster. ...far worse than what happened after the Gaza withdrawal.
Appeasement of Mohammedans never works. Not once, not ever. It merely encourages them.
??? The Israelis under Sharon evacuated Gaza several years ago. As for the "two state solution," settlers in the West Bank are the least obstacle possible.
If the Palis really wanted a two state solution, settlers would be no issue at all. They could stay where they are and the Palis could welcome them. That's if the palis were serious of course, which they demonstrably are not.
