Reply #7: Israel must be a demilitarized state also, or it ain't gonna fly [View All]

That is one non-starter.

Would the Israeli street accept a demilitarized Israel if Palestine had every weapon in the world?

Neither is it reasonable to suppose that Palestine will be content to sit defenseless next to a US arms dump.

If Israel does not want to be a demilitarized state, let the international community take up a collection and bring Palestine up to military parity with Israel.

Or let them agree on a compromise: Israel gets rid of its WMD, but keeps some tanks and planes, and Palestine gets some tanks and planes.

It would not be a bad thing for Israel to get out from under Sugar Daddy's gunpants and be an independent country.

The other big non-starter is the right of return.

No matter what you think of Abu Mazen, he was the only PA guy I have heard who has been straight up about that.

You can send off all the suits to all the European countries that you want to and draft pages and pages and volumes and volumes, the reality is that the right of return is not negotiable.

It is the law, and it applies to all refugees, Palestinians included.

No point in talking about the map till the guns and refugees are dealt with.
