Good point. A war is stopped when at least one side has militarily defeated the other, otherwise it can continue for generations or centuries.


You also state:
If the Palestinians defeat the Israelis, all of them will be put to death, as the Palestinians teach their children. So they only possibility is for the Israelis to defeat the Palestinians.
and
expel the Palestinians from the land between the Jordan and the Mediterranean.

The things you have said are very true in the current climate in the ME.
This was largely my point about there being 3 basic options.
The first 2 I mentioned are genocide.
The 2 possibilities you mentioned are the same.
(I don't think either party will go quietly)
Not only is the path to them both that you mention long and bloody, but it will invoke response from the US or the neighbors.

your policy will lead to continual war, or to genocide
Possibly, but either you mention will either that you mention will surely lead to that.

Are you in favor of one side or the other being eradicated?
(serious question)

Since your idea will not occur until after the abolition of original sin, and since Israeli defeat will mean their necessary extermination, and since Palestinian defeat will not mean their extermination, but only their expulsion, at worst, I favor the Palestinians military defeat and occupation, including the installation by Israel of a puppel government, as was done in Germany and Japan after WWII. If the Palestinians continue to do violence, I favor their expulsion to some other Arab country (Syria seems a good choice). If this occurs, and Palestinians cross the border, invaders should be shot.

If you think that there is no difference between forcible expulsion and extermination, please take it up with the Cajuns of Louisiana, who were known as the Acadians of Canada before they were forcibly expelled by the Brits after the French and Indian War. I do not expect that the Cajuns are happy about this expulsion (the one's in Longefellow's Evangeline were not), but they are not currently making violent attacks against their old homes, in what is now Nova Scotia, so far as I know.

"Are you in favor of one side or the other being eradicated?(serious question)"

Emphatically, NO!

However, when the two sides are asked the same question, one does NOT emphatically say "No". In fact, they are teaching their children that the answer is "Yes". Until they renounce their stand and have a 'change of heart', which means a modification of their inculcated beliefs; then, the two parties(neutral and persecuted) that do not support any eradication are forced to take up arms in defense against the 'one' party that seeks to eradicate the 'Great Satan' as it calls its enemies and their people. Apparently, there is one party that feels that 'evil people of a society' cannot be separated from 'ALL people of that society'. They lack the quality of discernment, and, as such must be judged as lacking such, and dealt with as any without discernment must be dealt with---harshly, IMHO.
