What Israel should have done in retrospect after the 1967 war was to annex at least the part of the West Bank that was deemed necessary for its security. The settlements were designed to do that more slowly while prodding the arabs(all the arabs) to negotiate a peace deal. Never happened and the settlements now have quasi-relgious standing among "Greater Israel" believers. At this point, all that matters are facts on the ground so some ideas(not proposals).
1. Israel should annex those key parts of the west bank once and for all and the rest(after a stated period time) should be turned over to the Arabs. That includes many settlements by the way. Since the Pals want all of Palestine including israel anyway how much more pissed off will this make them? NOt much I suspect.
2. There are still terror cells in Palestine. So more terror is likely but it will be less than before.
3. Hamas gets aid and comfort from iran and syria and from numerous charities. Iran is too far to go but perhaps Syria and Hizbollah should be taught a lesson on the other front. Did anyone say escalation.
4. Arafat might be of help as it relates to religious fundamentalist terrorists who hate him more than they hate sharon. Israel and PA in an unholy alliance of sorts??
5. Iraq confirmed the axis of evil with iran threatening the US of a joint response. I suggest the Iranians should unbundle now.
6. Why cant jordan/saudi arabia administer west bank during this period to lessen terrorism and keep israelis out.

7. Must reading below. Although the liberals denounce this logic, i too suspect it is true except for a few exceptions.
