Yes very droll.
If you believe that the West Bank and Gaza is part of Israeli territory just say it.
Withdrawing to more defensible lines does not mean giving in, fighting an untenable position merely to safe face leads to whole sale defeat as history has shown over and over again.

Israeli "withdrawal" (of their own land) will not change the Palistinians goal; the destruction of the Jews. You could give ALL of Israel to the Pali's, it won't make a difference. Even Arafat says on his radio addresses in his native tongue that all Jews are to be killed.
The Palis can go home to Syria/Lebanon.
