I'm more interested in determining how you think anyone can negotiate with an entity that says "no, we won't negotiate, and we plan to kill you off, too. Just read our pronouncements and watch our suicide bombers." You could say something similar about Iran, but Israel doesn't occupy Iran. Israel figured out it was not the brightest idea to occupy Lebanon. Olmert couldn't figure it out from history, so he had to prove it himself. There's no requirement to negotiate. Israel could have simply pulled out of the occupied territories any time over last 40 years. But they don't. Nor do they annex the occupied territories either. Hell, they could have annexed the territories when they first acquired them or during the defensive war in which they attacked first. [Don't you just love a war when you attack first in defense?]. Israel stays in the occupied territories by choice. I assume they enjoy it. jttmab
