[Polonius]

If the only choices offered to Israel by the Palestinians and neighboring Arab nations are slow death carried out through a combination of endless negotiation and terror, or total war with the PA and any neighboring nations that choose to become militarily involved, Israel will eventually have to take the second option if it wishes to survive. If the right of return remains a sticking point for the Palestinians, for instance, what choice could there be besides war? Negotiation is fine and dandy, but it must involve give and take, something neither side is particularly interested in at this point.
