Israeli "withdrawal" (of their own land) will not change the Palistinians goal; the destruction of the Jews. You could give ALL of Israel to the Pali's, it won't make a difference. Even Arafat says on his radio addresses in his native tongue that all Jews are to be killed.

I know: why not give all buildings over 40 stories high to Al Queda. That way they won't want to fly airplanes into them.

Yes very droll.

If you believe that the West Bank and Gaza is part of Israeli territory just say it.

Withdrawing to more defensible lines does not mean giving in, fighting an untenable position merely to safe face leads to whole sale defeat as history has shown over and over again.

Israeli "withdrawal" (of their own land)

Even the IDF admits the West Bank and Gaza are not part of the Israeli homefront.

will not change the Palistinians goal; the destruction of the Jews.

The PA's goal is a sovereign Palestinian state and it will be realized when Israel finally tires of oppressing and destroying Palestinians, gives up dreams of territorial expansion, and ends the hostile Israeli occupation.
