That said, I'm beginning to thing an expulsion of the Palestinians (as opposed to the Arab citizens of Israel who have generally not been involved in any of this) is one of Israel's few options at this point. While I have always thought the settlements in the occupied territories horribly misguided and a provocation, it now seems that, whatever the reasons, the Palestinians are interested in pushing the Jews into the sea rather than simply having their own state. A year ago, perhaps even six months ago, I would have supported a Palestinian state that dismantled all of the settlements outside the pre-1967 borders. Now, I think at the very least the Israelis should find defensible borders and make them the boundry, moving all Palestinians (other than Israeli citizens) out of those areas and sending them wherever will have them. If no one wants them, then send them in very small groups to wilderness places they can colonize.
This has always been the case. It is even in the "palestinian constitution", which is an old document and available from the PA itself. While Arafat has made public noises to minimize and explain it away to the western press, it has never been removed, and it has been reinforced and affirmed time and again for Arab consumption.

That is plain stupid. The real idiocy is that the Arabs were allowed to place the "palestinians", who are basically the worst criminals thrown out of the Arab nations by those same nations, in territory that Israel conquered from them in a war of self-defense. That is a travesty worthy of nuking every Arab capital on the map, but unfortunately it would lead to Israeli casualties from fallout.

The very reason I posted the words of Meir Kahane is that people like yourself are now agreeing with what he said. I had also listened to him in person, as well as had listened to him on the Radio in interviews. He was villified for his views at the time. He was an easy person to hate becuase he brashly said what was a basic truth to those who know the Islamic-Arabs of the region well.
Unfortunately, everything he said would happen has happened. You may think he was a "nutcase", but you are agreeing with him now. Matter of fact, it is almost becoming fashionable for the very people who wanted him in Jail (or worse) to sound just like him.
