Except it would be impossible to do if Palestinians were still there. Plus, never underestimate the self-imposed guilt trip of the Israelis. Far too many of them relish being hated and attacked to want to end the strife.
After 1967, it should have been done before the UN could even organize for a Security Council resolution. Funny thing about Palis: They are fatalists. They believe in submitting to the inevitable will of Allah. On the other hand, long term, they believe that they are inevitable, and that one day the 12th Imam will reveal himself and wreak a mighty vengeance among the infidels, Jooos! will get dimed on by the rocks they hide behind, etc. When you make it clear to them that you are inevitable, they will be quite docile and malleable, and start noticing all those Koranic passages in Surahs five and 17 that speak of the return of the Jooos! to their land. When you start giving ground before them, however, they become convinced that their day has at last arrived. Begin giving back the Sinai not only allowed smuggling of weapons and terrorists into Ghaza. It convinced the Palis that we were not inevitable, and therefore that their day has come at last. It is extremely doable, however, especially with the Palis, so long as you push the right buttons and keep off the wrong ones. Starting in ‘78, we were pushing the wrong buttons. Starting tomorrow, if we push the right ones (accept us; we are the inevitable will of Allah, prophesied in the Koran, and we’ll kick your ass in but good if you mess with us), we can annex to our heart’s content. Gingrich is right now pushing those good buttons. Ehud has through blind idiocy accidentally also pushed a few as well with this statement. But next we have to absolutely crush Hamas, or it all means nothing.
