68. It's like the Gaza pullout in a way - a test and an opportunity - not perfect but it's something
Edited on Wed Apr-28-10 05:55 AM by shira
Here's the thing, however.

If after pulling out of 60% and declaring temporary borders the W.Bank turns into Gaza, folks like yourself will say it's only because Israel didn't pull out of 100% and you'll blame Israel for a situation that's worse than the status quo now. Meanwhile, sane and rational people will see this as reason NOT to pull out of the highgrounds of Jerusalem and its immediate surroundings because the damage and chaos would be FAR worse.

Of course, you don't mind taking that risk and I'm not sure why you think such a catastrophe would be a better alternative. That's quite the warmongering position you have - chips fall as they may, fuck it and let it be. What's tens of more thousands of lives and a situation in the W.Bank that parallels Gaza......

And you think that's a move towards 'peace'.
