You put the words moral clarity in quotation marks. Who are you quoting?

You must realize that if it weren't for opposing points of view there would only be one. Would that suffice in your world?

Could be a goal, alright. I've heard rumors that "transfer" is a goal among certain factions in Israel, too.

Absolutely true.

However, if those factions controlled the government of Israel, the Palestinians would have been transferred long ago. For the most part, the Israeli government has a monopoly on force in their country....so it doesnt matter much what a small minority thinks.

Unfortunately, the same isnt true among the Palestinians. You can derisively call it "moral clarity" if you want, but in the end you can look at it as a practical issue as well. There can be a peace agreement without the disarming (or agreement) of the right wing Israeli's....the same isnt true of the militant Palestinian groups.
