#1 Don't you have any problems closer to home, Miguel? Oooops forgot. Inflaming anti-Semitism is how European rulers been dealing with popular discontent as long as there was Europe.

#2 ...and since exported to American academia, the home of other fashionable European ideologies like Marxism.

#3 I have to agree with Moratinos here but I think we should annex the West Bank as an advance compensation for the future annexation of Spain by the new Moslem Chalifat of Eurabia.

#4 If the Israelis are going to do that, they had better come up with some way of expelling Arabs from their territory quickly, as they are starting to add up.

#5 Probably a better question to ask is, would Israel accept a state-and-a-half solution?

#6 Look tipper, all these plans etc... is a pile of nonsense. Arabs won't rest until the world is Judenfrei. Of course, there is the Golden Rule.

#7 g(r)omgoru,
The situation in the West Bank is at a strange impasse. What would you make of this article by Tom Gross?

"In June, the Washington Post's Jackson Diehl related how Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had told him why he had turned down Ehud Olmert's offer last year to create a Palestinian state on 97% of the West Bank (with 3% of pre-1967 Israeli land being added to make up the shortfall). "In the West Bank we have a good reality," Abbas told Diehl. "The people are living a normal life," he added in a rare moment of candor to a Western journalist.

Nablus stock exchange head Ahmad Aweidah went further in explaining to me why there is no rush to declare statehood, saying ordinary Palestinians need the IDF to help protect them from Hamas, as their own security forces aren't ready to do so by themselves yet."

#9 As I said, barring a major change in Arab mentality, this is a war to extinction.

#11 Perhaps Israel should contact some Christian Arabs (there are some in san Diego) and arrange a takeover of the West Bank and Finlandized government. Make it profitable for Israeli Arabs to move into the West Bank and promote a policy of sending troublemakers to Gaza.

Then work to reframe the conflict as Gaza xs everyone instead of Israel vs Arab.
