You can start counting when Sharon surrenders the territories and the de facto and de jure onus is on Arafat and his thugs.
Until then every Jew killed is excused by the Arabs because Israel has not returned the settlements.
Will the Arabs embrace Israel if and when Sharon actually gives up the territories? Of course not; none of us should accuse the other of putting our head in the sand. But let's face it, Sharon's (Netanyahu's) way has not "solved" the killings so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from the half dozen European countries shich will stop blaming Israel for the impasse.
You are incredibly wrong if you think anyone, Jew or Gentile, hasn't figured out that dealing with Arafat is best left to crooked lawyers like Clinton.
My point is simple. Give them some more rope and let them hang themselves.
Yeah, that's what Chaim Rumkowski told the folks in the Lodz ghetto. That they should just quietly get on the trains and go for a nice vacation at a seaside resort.
Of course it is! That is their modus operandi. They count on people like you to be ignorant of, forget, or disregard history. In that vein, I ask you, What was their excuse before 1967, when these "territories" belonged to Arab countries?
The so-called occupation is just the latest pretext. If your remedy is applied, they will just find another excuse to continue the attacks they've been mounting for 54 years. And you, the media and the left will buy it.
