No they did not hand back sovereignty right away but they worked on it from day one. And they did not allow the attacks of a minority of extremist partisans poison that process, because it was the right thing to do. Pointing the finger at the misdeeds of neighboring Arab countries is also not relevant to this point. Those countries are not proper democracies either; I am not sure if you think I support that or something. I think you are really focused on finding "the bad guy" here to justify everything, but that is not the way to look forward and improve anything.
Remember this sub-thread started when you made a post purposefully ignoring an entire population(4 million) that would be forced into an increasingly shrinking ghetto, with no way to escape, if it went as you said. That is a messed up attitude to have for being a member of a site like this(with no basis on reality). The backlash you are receiving from multiple people is a result of that. All I am saying is that people should not be ignored, history has proven this is the right way to go.
