#1 Is it me or is the concept of giving land back to those who lost it in a war (in exchange for what?) really, really stoopid?

#2 It's not you, Raj.
I wanna hear what Ariel Sharon thinks--but this isn't going to go down well with lots of Israelis and I don't blame them!
Why trust Baby Assad and as you said, why voluntarily cede land that was paired for with precious blood?

#3 the concent worked well in the case of Egypt - the absence of threat from that quarter has been very important to Israel. Netanyahu himself was willing to negotiate a withdrawl from Syria in exchange for peace,as did Barak. These never went anywhere because A. Syria insisted not only on every inch of the Golan, but took an expansive view of the border between the Golan and pre-67 Israel and B. Syria was reluctant to take an expansive view of peace - no cultural, economic, other relations.

#4 "The army is able to defend any border. This is correct for any political decision that is taken in Israel," he said.

There is part of me (I not an Israeli) that sez okay, back to the 1967 border ..... give it a year and get all the excuses and sealed waxed, red-beribboned paper necessary to overrun everything from Kurdistan to the Nile.

#8 I don't know but his comments are gone from every article I've seen in the last 20 minutes or so. Did someone do a global search/replace of everything he wrote?

#11 Probably nothing. The trip wire could simply be that your IP address resembles one from a real troll. Just ask Fred to pull you out of the sink trap, AND DON'T FORGET TO SHOWER OFF!

#12 I told him that's what happens when you don't practice safe surfing. Always wear gloves I tell him; may be more typos, but you don't come home with somebody else's IP address. That's the kind of thing that stays with you the rest of your life. So I'll do the talking from now on.
