If Israel was to dimantle the settlements and allow a Palestinian state to be created, they will have held-up their end of the bargan. Then if the radical muslims keep attacking, Israel declares war and whipes them off the face of the earth.

This plan would fail because the Europeans, the world and the UN would make Israel into a pariah state. Make huge international boycotts same as South Africa suffered. Israel is very dependent on world trade.

You fail to understand that justice and fairness are not factors here. Europeans, the world and the UN support the Paleostinans now and would support them in your scenario too, if they had their own terrorist state that Israel had to fight to defend itself

I don't see any other answer. I really don't. Things can't continue like they are now.

I saw someone commenting on this the other day....Can't remember who. But he made a lot of sense. He said...

"Like the srife in Northern Ireland, the combatants in Isreal will only stop when they get tired of killing each other."

I'd like to think that is true but it seems the religious fanatics on both sides are MUCH more entrenched here. We'll see...

Personally I wish this had all been settled 500 years ago. Before all the politics.
