Reply #10: You're being presumptious in your assumptions.....

If/when all/any of the following conditions are fulfilled,your questions will carry more credibility..


Try sueing for peace,or acting like a "good neighbour",
stop the incursions,end the occupation,dis-mantle the illegal settlements,stop acting like an "international pariah state",end the policy of extra-judicial killings,& start respecting international law.

Start serious negotiations with the PA,maybe even assume they are equals,and capable of acting in good faith.

Using the Ulster/Northern Ireland analogy,during the 90's there were huge truck bombs in the centre of the City of London,the financial district,& in Manchester.In Warrington,in the north of England,a city-centre bomb killed two children. The John Major Tory Cabinet was nearly killed by a mortar attack,in Whitehall. Now,7 years after a PIRA ceasefire,there is (pretty much) stability & "peace" in Ulster,and Sinn Fein are part of the governing Assembly.

So,anything is possible.

As you may have noticed,I haven't answered your question,since I believe it is based on a false premise;that Gaza will be free of settlers & Israeli military,when they "leave". And,the occupation of the West Bank,what of that?
