Two years ago I explained why "Palestine" will never come into existence. Events since then have confirmed my views.

Almost from the day after the signing of the Palestine Mandate, Great Britain violated the Mandate and restricted Jewish immigration giving rise to the Partition Plan.
It is time to return to the original mandate which favoured
Today, after reading the address by Pres. Bush, I advised Stop worrying. The peace process is dead. and proceeded to analyze the speech paragraph by paragraph.
And for those who missed a recent poll, Israelis, by margin of 68:29, are against full withdrawal and division of Jerusalem
Yet for some reason U.S. presidents keep trying. Believing there will be peace there by the end of this year is just silly.
It’s tempting to dismiss the Presdient’s entire trip as nothing but a glorified PR exercise. But words have consequances and some of the things he’s said the last couple of days are going to foment more attacks by the Palestinians.
US Presidents keep trying these sorts of initiatives due to the permanent leftoid Mandarins in the State Department ...
Could be it will come to be this time. Having an unorganized territory sitting there and nobody wants it is beyond stupid.
Thailand?
Bangkok?
Ping!

President Bush, summing up meetings with both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, said today that a peace accord will require “painful political concessions” by each. Resolving the status of Jerusalem will be hard, he said, and he called for the end of the “occupation” of Arab land by the Israeli military.

What on Earth is their plan for Palestine? Right now, it consists of 2 territories separated by Israel. Are they going to evacuate one & empty it out, connect the two & cut Israel in half (G-d forbid), or what??
