| if israel withdrew the 450 jewish settlers from hebron, announced that for the sake of peace it was eliminating a source of tension and then annihilated the 130,000 palestinians in hebron and sent in 50,000 jews to live in hebron, israel would be widely condemned, steps would be taken to make the jews withdraw from hebron, many would say u s would be hurt in building coalition against iraq, israel would be condemned for killing innocent civilians, israel would have great difficulty making a serious threat that palestinians would suffer similar destruction if they killed jews in other places, palestinians would be unlikely to stop killing jews, israel would be strongly warned not to kill palestinans again when the palestinians killed more jews. |
