which is why things are likely to get worse before they get better.


Unfortunately, this column is "right on".

The only way peace will come to the region is when large
parts of the Palestinian community and its leadership decide to accept the half a loaf that could be
realistically available and stop pining murderously for the whole one in the clouds. The challenge for
everybody else is how to help them get there.


Defeat them completely, that's how.

Don't have time, this moment, to develop the theme but, right now, it's the only possible decent way of getting them there. The theme has a lot of implications.

>>The irony here is rich, because if anybody should understand devotion to such once-and-future fantasies, it's a Zionist.<<

I think the difference is that a Zionist would have taken half a loaf and then tried to get more later. I really can't see Jews voluntarily living in refugee camps in poverty rather than living in a house and making a living.
