"Forget the apparently inconsequential fact that Israel had only a few months earlier offered to disgorge 97 per cent of the West Bank, grant the Palestinians a share in Jerusalem, permit a limited return of the refugees and recognise an independent Palestinian state (which no previous ruler in the area had ever done)".

The answer to this dilemma is simply go ahead and return 97% of the west bank, and recognize a Palestinian state; UNILATERARLY! This will give Israel the upper moral ground worldwide, and force the democratic initiative in Palestine to forge forward. Bombing Gaza at night and killing scores of kids does not help Israel image.

Screaming about the British/French/German are against Israel is simply silly. They are against the misguided arrogant Israeli's policy under Sharon. The paranoia of the Israeli militants that labels their best friends anti-Semitic is causing lots of damage to Israel. Israel must reassess its hawkish policies, and go on with the program to mend the hostilities with their neighbors.

How insane is this!!! The Pallies will only be that much closer to Israel population centers and able to arm themselves to the gills. For phase 2 of this Jihad. For a more intense war.

Why should Pallies get a free lunch without even signing a peace agreement? That they will break anyway.

Jack Nicholson, "...Go sell crazy somewhere else!"
I want to add, ... "Up yours!"
But I won't.

Think twice about insisting on going to Hell,
read the Bible,
dare God to show Himself to you.
