do you also see "forcible removal" of "Muslims" from settlements within the "pre 1967" Israeli territories? I think it would only be fair, given the obstinance and rhetoric coming out of the PA. Afterall Zeev, as you know, there has always been a significant Arab muslim population in Israel, whereas in contrast, it has ALWAYS been the Arabs that created punitive laws, including death, against selling property on the West Bank to Jews. The Israels have shown they can live in some semblance of harmony and mutual respect with their domestic Arab population. Now the Palestinians should prove they can live with Jews in their midst. As far as I'm concerned, those jews who wish to remain on the West Bank, should be permitted to do so, in exchange for changing their citizenship to that of "Palestinians" to reflect the boundaries that will created for that state. No matter how much they don't wish to admit it, the Palestinians will have to be forced to realize that they just DO NOT have the makings of an economically viable state at this time, or anytime in the near future. The PA relies upon Israel for power and sewage, as well as the majority of the employment for its people. Israel is the primary market for any goods produced by the PA. Thus, they should welcome Jews, and their money, into the West Bank because they need them, and the Israelis need to further tie the PA into Israel's economy in order to deter future potential hostilities. All the political niceties of declaring a Palestinian State is well and good. But making it work is quite another thing. Hawk
