So what is a possible solution now? I am curious, for at least someone to suggest a possible solution, no matter how unpalatable it is to the other side, a starting point is needed! It looks very grim there. The tragedy of the situation is that a final solution will probably looks something like the offer at Taba, but there's no hope of it until a war has been fought that will destroy the Islamicists and bring the Palestinians under new and rational management. Not that this appears likely. There is no solution while the Islamicists have de facto control, for in this case it is not a border dispute; it is an existential struggle, which much be fought to exhaustion. A terrible war, and totally unnecessary. The only small hope is that America's War on Terror will shake loose external conditions by destroying the Iraqi threat. If the Israelis didn't feel so threatened by Iraqi arms and Saudi money (which have done everything in their power to prevent the Israeli-Palestinian question from ever being settled), they would be more willing to bargain. But for that, the Arabs must cease their ceaseless Jew-hatred and anti-Zionism.
