First off, this catastrophic ambition fully resolves the conflict itself. Recall that it worked wonderfully with Poland, Germany and most of Easter Europe thanks to Uncle Joe. For that reason it is likely any final treaty will in some way come to this point. The real issue is how to get there while benefiting the Palestinians in particular. Any such solution will have to be imposed. So long as the Palestinians fail to submit, and i must use that draconian word, the Israelis are free to continue this piece by piece land conversion.

"Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted.

Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world's stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp – and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all its immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble." - Dean Koontz

Quote of the Day
“You’ve got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists” ― G.K. Chesterton
