Continuing the previous analysis:

Once the Palestinian army has been crushed, Israel should BUILD A WALL. They should bring all the settlers home, retreat to the 1967 borders except they should take all of Jerusalem, and they should have a half-mile-wide Zone of Death on the outside of the wall. They should make the economic sacrifice of forgoing cheap Palestinian labor, and leave the Palestinians to make it on their own with the help of their Arab brethren. In a couple of years the Palestinians will probably have killed each other or starved to death, but that's no concern of Israel.

Hummm..

Sharon is doing this.. A "buffer zone" I think they called it.

The previous reference to the 1967 borders wasn't meant to include the annexed Golan Heights, just the occupied territories. Israel would actually be easier to defend than if it held the West Bank and Gaza, the strategic geographic advantages of which are outweighed by the strategic disadvantage of having all those Palestinians to deal with.
