re: "I am afraid at this stage that there is little prospect for another solution short of war."

Well, I think the seven day's war in 1967 never really ended, because the losers refused to surrender.

Anyway, Pharohs have come and gone, Rome has come and gone, the Kings of Europe have come and gone, America was discovered, and:

The Jews still remain, and are still true to the Torah, which was handed down by G-d about 3,500 years ago.

Wars come and go, that is a permanent condition of the world, I am afraid, and will be so until the whole world is Jewish.

See, there have been many wars fought in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, but as for the Jews? They never had a war amongst themselves.

They who align themselves with the goals of Israel, align themselves with the goals of G-d.

Although of course, the Israeli leaders may have made a few mistakes. But the goal is eternal.

Though I agree in general and in principle with your comments about the House of Israel (and I distinguish between that and simply the Jews because the covenant and promises are to the entire House of Jacob), I do have two comments:

1. Althougb wars have been fought in the name of Jesus...that doesn't mean He was doing it. Clinton did a lot of things in the name of the United States that I neither agreed with or took ownership of. Christianity is the true religion of peace, set forth by the Prince of Peace and His teachings of brotherly kindness, charity and love...Who will come again and usher in the peace you speak of from my perspective...and it will most definitely include the Jews and the entire House of Israel as He has promised because he was and is their Redeemer.

2. The House of Israel did fight amongst themselves...that's why there ended up being two Kingdoms which weakened them (mainly as a result of their turning away from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) and ultimately led to their captivity and dispersion.

Today, we need to get out of Israeli's way on this issue and let them handle the problem. We also need to be mindful of how we spend our support doallars with them. They need and deserve our support, both historically and presently IMHO...but it cannot be with no strings attached because the support and respect has to be a two way street. To date I believe it pretty much has, despite some bumps in the road. Most of those bumps now are coming from foggy botom IMHO.
