Do you seriously believe that if Israel withdrew to its pre-67 borders, "world opinion" would view it any differently at all? I think you're ascribing a degree of rationality and even-handedness to "world opinion" that in fact does not exist. "...Israel has created a sea of hatred that will keep giving its fruit for decades..." Israel certainly exists and acts within the context of a sea of hatred, no doubt. To suggest that Israel and Israel alone created it is specious in the extreme. To suggest that those who have encouraged it, cultivated it, and thrived on it would suddenly be undercut and "have no international support in world opinion" if Israel simply "stopped occupying stolen lands" is on the level of...oh, how have I seen it put?.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! All that Israeli withdrawal would do is reveal what a sham concern the whole "occupied territories" issue really is for those who purport to make it the lynchpin of their support/nonsupport for Israel otherwise.
