I would change my mind if a leader would come forth from the Palestinians, who was genuinely interested in a just peace, and was willing and courageous enough to work on ridding the Palestinian territories of terrorists and gangsters.

I don't see that happening.


I have to agree.....unfortunately....

Forget the UN. Useless.

How about NATO (with France excluded) or a group of nations (US, UK, Canada, Australia, eastern Europeans who want in) who would ACTUALLY be willing to enforce this agreement if push came shove dictated this:

Israel pulls back to its 1967 borders. The Coalition guarantees it against attack by its Arab/Muslim neighbor. Any country violating this deals with the Coalition forces. The gov't will be removed, replaced, and the leadersip subject to war crimes trials conducted by the Coalition. The Palestinians get a state. All countries subject to the agreement (Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, Syria, Lebanon, ..) agree not to allow terrorist activities against Israel to operate from their territory. If they do not stop them, the Coalition steps in. Israel is subject to the same conditions: it must not allow Israelis to carry out terrorist activities against other countries in the agreement.

Jerusalem becomes an international city protected by the coalition. It has an elected democratic gov't, but it must allow all persons of any religion in and must allow access to religious shrines.

Fair?
