. . . this will mean the end of the two-state solution, and that will take us either to more drastic and radical solutions or a perpetual conflict. I think he got one right and one wrong: It will lead to a more drastic solution that will end the perpetual conflict.

Mazybe they should get the Egyptian doctors that are separating the twins conjoined at the head and let them separate Syria and Palestine at the head also.

By what right does the UN think it can tell Israel to stop building a fence on it's side of the supposed "occupied" territories? instead of bugging Mayor Street's office in Philly, maybe the FBI should be bugging the UN to find out what the hell is going on there.

"If Israel doesn't stop building the fence, Mr al-Kidwa said, "this will mean the end of the two-state solution, and that will take us either to more drastic and radical solutions or a perpetual conflict. It should be looked at that seriously. It is not just another event." "
What does the fence have to do with a Pal state, unless the Pal state includes Israel?

Makes you wonder why they don't want this fence built. Why not? Unless they have need for illegal passage into Israel... Oh nevermind.

How much more drastic can you get than a suicide bombing?

The UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, condemned the military operation in the Gaza Strip yesterday, warning Israel "not for the first time ... that the disproportionate use of force in densely populated areas is not compatible with international humanitarian law".

Maybe they don't want the fence built because it is separating members of families from one another, blocking people from getting to their jobs, and taking the houses and fields of others.

Interesting. I always heard that good fences make good neighbors. Particularly when the neighbor appears as an old stone savage armed.
To: halfdome
Fine. Then Israel should use eminent domain to move the non-citizens on its side of the fence. These would get market alue for their property and be asked to return to their relatives.
Problem solved.

Israel will continue building the fence because 1) it avoids dealing with the problem, and 2) looks like they are doing something.
Activity substituting for achievement.

I think he got one right and one wrong: It will lead to a more drastic solution that will end the perpetual conflict.I'm with you. Victory can only be achieved either when one side in the conflict totally capitulates or is completely destroyed. The pacifists and tree-huggers don't want to hear that and all who share the view are war-mongerers, but it's true.
History has taught us that. Yet, for some damn reason, we let the UN and the Euro-weenies convince us that "negotiated" settlements are the "only way" to end disputes.
It's worked well in the Middle East, huh? And Korea. And the Balkans. And . . . hell, it didn't even work in my divorce and I'm a three hundred pound gorilla and my ex was not quite a hundred pound waif. I surrendered unconditionally.

You're right, it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it will prevent them from killing themselves along with several innocent Jewish women and children. (/sarcasm)
To: blam
Ummm...does the UN actually do ANYTHING other than obstruct US foreign policy and condemn Israel?
This seems to be it's primary function [obsession].
To: paul544
You need to look at the map of where the fence is being built to understand what the problems are. Here is a link that may help.
