"New Israel" , a not so modest proposal

[moniss]

177. It has been used throughout by all parties concerned

and will not stop in the foreseeable future. Once Israel declares Hamas gone, no matter how long that is, what will take its' place? If Hezbollah is eliminated what will take its' place? What is the answer to Gaza? Reoccupy it? Annex it? Same for the West Bank? What is the plan beyond today for anything to be different? So the prison walls the leaders built on the borders result in making both sides of the wall a prison in effect.

So what is the plan for the future? Continue on aggressively expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank? Continue taking homes and businesses in East Jerusalem? Start doing the same in Gaza? What is the plan?

I say the same to the other side. What is your plan? Keep on with terror groups and killing and more killing? More of the same? To what end? Any sane person knows the Israelis and Israel are not going to disappear and the terror groups cannot make that happen. So to what end the attacks other than bits of vengeance? Tit for tat on into infinity?

We have a situation in front of us in which all parties involved long ago adopted a strategy of weapons, dishonest bargaining etc. in conducting themselves and the powers of the world have fed that and fed upon it with supplying everything needed to keep it going. It's not something that can't be stopped. But it won't be stopped because there is no workable plan for anything to be different about what makes it exist. There are only plans for more of the same.
