Not completely. I think that the places in the northern West Bank, which getting rid of would make Israel ridiculously narrow (less than 10 miles wide in two vital areas) should be annexed, and the rest can go to the Palestinians. The Palestinians should also be given the southern part of the Negev, so they can have a continuous state from the West Bank to Gaza (they're actually separated by about 20 miles). They need a secure, continuous state, too. However, if they then continue attacking Israel after they have a state, no more restraint. Z, but Sharon has said the Palestinians will never get the West Bank. So, I don't think it will happen while he is in power. ted

>It was a forced birth......the Israelis accepted the partitioning, the Arabs did not. Israelis wanted the Palestinians to live in Jordan, the Palestinians want their own country. And there has not been peace since. Once again, the Palestinians could've stayed. Many of the ones that did are now citizens and there are, I believe, three Arab members of Knesset, though one is currently on trial for calling for the destruction of Israel. Z, doesn't the Knesset have about 120 seats? I understand the Muslim population is about 20% of the total Israeli population. If I am correct in my facts, then it would appear that the Muslims do not have very good representation. Are there laws that would prohibit them from running for office? ted
