Almost everyone involved in diplomacy aimed at a peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israel conflict thinks that the solution is a "two-state solution" -a state of Israel and a state of Palestine, living in mutual harmony, side by side, without terror or conflict between them. President Bush, Prime Minister Olmert of Israel, the leaders of the European Community, Russia, and the United Nations-all are advocates of the "two state solution." In effect, it is a call for a "three state solution" - Jordan, Israel and a terror state in between threatening the elimination of both.
However, I respectfully disagree with the view of these world leaders that a "two-state solution" is viable. The Palestinian Arab leadership has violated almost every agreement that it has signed with Israel since the "peace process" began in 1993, including and especially their repeated pledges to halt terror attacks on Israelis. Instead, these attacks have multiplied greatly in the past thirteen years, and Israeli casualties, especially civilian casualties, have increased sharply. Palestinian children are systematically indoctrinated in relentless hatred of Israel, Israelis and Jews in general in the Palestinian Authority schools. The mosques indoctrinate Palestinian adults in the same hatred, and openly incite terror and murder against Jews ("martyrdom"). And all this with the support of the U.S. State Department paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.

There already is a two-state solution. Palestine was divided into two; a sliver for the jewish settlers, and the rest for the arab palestinians. Jewish Palestine was re-named "Israel". Arab Palestine was re-named "Jordan".
Jordan is arab palestine. The proper solution is for Israel and Jordan to negotiate the boundary they are each prepared to live with, for Israel to administer the areas on their side of the line, and for Jordan to administer the rest.
I realize that Jordan prefers to leave the west bank as a cancer on Israel's flank, but they should not be granted that choice. Their choice should be stark and clear; they can govern the west bank arabs where they are, or they can deal with them as refugees.
An outlaw enclave ruled by outlaws, feeding off of Israel, should not be an option.
Since Jordan hasn't yet volunteered to assume its responsibility, they need to be helped. Israel must seal itself off from the arab territories. If the west bank arabs have no access to the world through Israel, they have no choice but to look through Amman. If they are not allowed to be a cancer on Israel's hide, they become by default Jordan's problem to deal with, one way or the other way. Jordan will be forced to govern them or defeat them.

Everyone knows viable doesn't matter, just give them the state already. If the troop surge works, there will be out of work terrorists who need a safe haven.
That is correct, there is already a "two-state solution" and the Arab portion of "Palestine" is called Jordan. The only acceptable solution for the "Palestinians" is the non-existance of a Jewish state. The border lines are merely temporary moves in a larger game of chess. There is no acceptable "two-state solution" that allows a viable Jewish state to remain in existance. The "right of return" cited in the Iraq Surrender Group's plan is the death knell of the Jewish state, overrunning Israel with endless and uncountable Arab "residents" until there are only Arabs. There is no point in pretending that the "road map" will ever produce a peaceful two-state outcome. Israel would agree to it; "Palestine" will never.
Yes, but King Abdullah II of Jordan no doubt remembers the fun time his late father, Hussein, had after taking in the Pali terrorists. They tried to overthrow King Hussein and Black September, 1970 was the result. It was kill or be killed and the Jordanians kicked the Palestinian terrorists out after killing thousands of them. The Pali leadership then left for Lebanon where they absolutely ruined that once-prosperous country. The only people in the world that are expected to negotiate and live peacefully with the Palestinian gangsters are the poor Israelis. Oy vey! It is not possible because of the nature of the Palestinian beast, but we all just keep playing the game, pretending that peace is possible with the Al Capones of the Middle East.
EVER!
It's interesting that Abdullah's wife is "palestinian", though their kids look Jewish to me.
Huh? She's semitic in ancestry and so is Abdullah. And so are Jewish people - although the Ashkenazi think they're a grade above.:)
Good article. It clearly states the reality of it. IMO.
Tell them that.
Tell them what? Either I'm being slow today or you are.
