< With the Arab world and Europe blaming only Israel, no matter what the circumstances, as we have seen. Do you think Israel wants to withdraw only as prelude to reconquest when Hamas begins firing Katyushas over the wall? > There will never be peace among the Israelis and the Palestinians if this is the cynicism upon which the future of the Middle East rests? And if so, why am I wasting my tax dollars upon this region of the world?

>>95% return of the territories That is the problem. Settlements are unacceptable, if peace is achieved. The argument that they are needed for defense in a world of flying airplane bombs, anthrax, and a future nuclear-armed Arab world is ridiculous. >>This op-ed covers some of the history. Dismissing so easily a proposal that offers Israel a good chance at genuine peace is very shortsighted. Without genuine peace, Israel's long term prospects are bleak. Long term US support is highly uncertain, after the stakes for such support were raised so dramatically.
