Israel will never get an unconditional surrender without huge Palestinian losses and major destruction of their cities. Do you think Israel is prepared to go to those lengths?

I am not advocating that Israel starts bombing Palestinian cities in order to get an unconditional surrender. I am just saying that had this happened in the past, the ambitions of Palestinians would be somewhere between none to limited (vs. 99% of 100% of land of Israel /Palestine). Their lives would have been happier, since they would not have wasted all their lives trying banging their heads agaist a brick wall.


Joe, let me put it another way. I think a total and complete surrender is healthier only when the one who surrenders clearly knows they were in the wrong. The Palestinians do not feel that they are in the wrong.......rather they believe they are fighting for their independence.

If they get put down again, even in total surrender, they will believe that it was the Israelis superior strength that forced the surrender, and nothing will have been gained except a few years peace.
