I've left a response to your comm...Thanks Mike<br /><br />I've left a response to your comment at the Joint about Obama's likely re election that I was going to cross post here but now see I don't need to. <br /><br />My focus is on Iran besides which "Palestine" is almost a side issue now This is because the Israelis have been managing it so well. <br /><br />There is nothing Israel could have done about the rise of Radical Islam and Israel was not the cause of this Nazi revolution. That it has polluted the Palestinians is the least of it and that it has made the "Palestinian" issue intractable is merely a by product. <br /><br />It was probably intractable anyway. This is just the final nail.<br /><br /> <br /><br />I agree up to a point. I think the "one state solution" is the way to go. A unilateral declaration of the borders but in consultation with allies whose recognition will be very much in order. <br /><br />There should be no regard for the terms of Oslo at all in this process except to the extent that it has lead to facts on the ground.<br /><br />Jerusalem will continue to be the undivided capital and allies will recognise that along with borders by moving their embassies there. <br /><br />The IDF should remain deployed in "Palestine" to the extent necessary to defend the state from attack and to protect the lives of Israeli civilians while they are evacuated from their ancestral homeland to a reserve where they will be safe. <br /><br />Again.<br /><br />Some American Native nations know exactly how that plays for a start.<br /><br />It may be that's a permanent solution. <br /><br /> geoffffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056725010151459750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-6723464898200830282012-10-03T10:16:58.303-07:002012-10-03T10:16:58.303-07:00Geoffff, good piece!

We must acknowledge, or so it seems to me, that the Oslo "peace process" is certainly dead and that, therefore, Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of the Jewish state of Israel... as Obama said when he lied to AIPAC in, what?, 2008?<br /><br />That being the case it is my conviction that Israel should simply declare its eastern border and remove the IDF to behind that border. Some, like Ted Belman, would say that Israel should annex "area C," but I think that the government of the state of Israel should take a fresh look and make a decision on final borders according to the needs of the country.<br /><br />What's left can be whatever criminal-terrorist entity that the Palestinians create for themselves, which they can call "Palestine" and with Ramallah as the capital.<br /><br />Do you agree or disagree?Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.com
