"What about the political rights of the Palestinians who live in the west bank? What about constant assassinations, bulldozing homes, checkpoints, etc."

Do the Palestinians have the political right to send wave after wave of terror attacks on the civilian population of Israel? What political rights are you talking about, be more specific.

Would there be assassinations if not for the terror structure and coordinated attacks on civilians?

Would there be bulldozing if the homes were not used for staging attacks?

Would there be checkpoints if not for terrorist infiltrations?

You cannot have peace without security. Israel has shown time after time after time the willingness to pull out and ease up. Arafat and his minions simply cannot be trusted anytime, anywhere. The Arabs won't even take him in.

Also quite ironic that Israeli Arab citizens have more civil rights than the Arab citizens of any Arab country!
