The "road map" does not threaten Israel proper. Indeed it makes it more secure as the "Quartet" would become de facto guarantors of Israel's security. What it does is shoots down the dream of some in Israel (and some here) of expelling three million people from their homes in order to expand "Eretz Israel".

Ironically, their goal is identical to that of the radical Palestinians, with only the names of the people and places changed.

This is incorrect on so many levels. Obliging the fictitious "paelstinians" to honor their word, and either live in peace in Israel as citizens, or remove themselves to their lawful homeland of Jordan, is hardly on an equivalent moral plane as the genocidal activites of the renegade Arabs currently squatting on Israeli land.

If you want to guarantee more and bloodier wars in the Middle East, follow the roadmap and reward terror.

It's long past time the Hashemite occupation of "palestine," which is East of the Jordan River, was ended.

E Rocc isn't one to let the truth get in the way of apologizing for the poor, downtrodded Palestinians.

How would you solve the problem of 3 million Palestinians in the occupied territory?

Thanks again for this post Saber...I think if everyone would take the time to learn the actual history behind the issue, we wouldn't have to hear the Arab/Nazi line all the time.
