My point is that the techniques that victors used to pacify the defeated in the 19th century are no longer available to Israel. The wild west is over. That's what "never again" means.

Just an observation....but "never" is an awfully long time.

If suicide bombing becomes a viable tactic for various groups to achieve their goals, I dont think it will be long before ethnic cleansing becomes part of the response.

I have trouble understanding why you think Arafat (or any of the other likely leaders of Palestine) would ever want to participate in a state with the Israelis. They may want their own state or they may want the destruction of Israel....but I dont see any evidence that they would support a one-state solution.
