Hmmmmmm, sure looks like Israel is trying to stay within it's alloted territory, even if they annex the "occupied territories".

If that's true then there's no reason for some people here to huff and puff about the need to ethnically cleanse America of Arab Americans.
Palestine isn't about ethnic cleansing. It is about removing weapons of mass destruction, known as homicide bombers, from a sociopath, Arafat. It is a highly just and moral war. And it must be done. And it has been done with a view to minimizing civilian casualties. As is evident from the use of soldiers, rather than cluster bombs in Jenin. Conflating your plan with this plan is simply equating gentiles and Jews.
In a worst case scenario, China moves on Taiwan, N. Korea advances on S. Korea......we are bogged down fighting on several fronts with a somewhat depleted military (thanks to BC). What better odds do the above mentioned countries have than to coincide their moves while we are wrapped up in the ME?....IMHO
I think Sharon is a little busy right now to concern himself with Saddam. But you keep saying that is the ulterior motive of these pundits. You are the one with the elaborate Rube Goldberg-like scenario of what will happen in the ME that causes these people to advocate re-attacking a country we are (by virtue of the treaty Iraq signed) still at war with.
And, frankly, in the context of having been constantly attacked by her neighbors since her inception, I cannot, in context, think of too many instances where I can forcibly oppose Israel's actions. I would have gone much further.
If there is another large attack on the US by the terrorists, Islamic Arab Americans are likely to be justly treated in the same way as the Japanese Americans were unjustly treated during WWII.
They did no such thing. The Arabs states told the Palestinian Arabs to leave, and that they could return, gettting the property of the Jews as well as their own, after the Arab armies crushes the Jews. It didn't quite work out that way, and those Palistinian Arabs and their decendents live in refugee camps or dispered all over the Arab world as second class citizens, to this day. Only those that stayed in Israel are citizens of a free and democratic (small "d") country, with voting and other civil rights.
Oh, yes they were sent at us! Iraq and SA share a border. Scuds were the reason why we donned MOPP-4 so darned much over there. Our Patriot missiles knocked most of them out of the sky, though.
No doubt. Your post, however, is fiction.
The fact is, according to those who were there, Arafat walked out without so much as a counter proposal. He went home and lit up the terror campaign on his own, without need of any help from Sharon.
This I did not know. If so, shame on the Arab countries that keep them. It is cruel to use them as pawns to focus their native population on Israel rather then their repressive rule.
The internet address example I gave was just that -- an example. There is nothing at all resembling a state in the WB. They depend on Israel for jobs, electricity, heat, everything. There is no attempt to build a life there. None at all. Recall that prior to '67 it was Jordan. Jordan had a little fracas with the WB Palestinians as well as I recall.
Hmmmmmm, sure looks like Israel is trying to stay within it's alloted territory, even if they annex the "occupied territories".
If they try it, Marseilles will be a glass plate. If the Egyptians try it, the Aswan Dam will disappear, along with the entire population of the Nile Valley. That last scenario will probably involve a plague along the lines of the Black Death taking out most of the Mediterranean basin.
It need not entail as much as you might think. They can walk to Jordon in a day or two, or drive their vehicles or take buses or trucks in a very few hours. The West Bank is just not that big a place.
Deport them too?
Blame it on my Jewish blood (you seem to be allying yourself with that sort of crowd lately anyhow).
