"The Israelis have always been willing to compromise. It's the Arabs who still to this day recognize only their own claims and hear the word "surrender" whenever someone says "compromise"" I seem to recall a certain Saudi prince who offered a peace plan which, on the surface was "interesting" but got shot down a few weeks later by Israel and the US.

Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "The Israelis have always been willing to compromise." The Native Americans in the US compromised with the whites over and over, but each time the agreement didn't last. Instead, the inevitable trend of demographics forced them into smaller and less valuable land. Israel's basic problem is also demographics, but they have a temporary technological advantage over their enemy. Weak nations are always willing to compromise. It's the only thing they can do. You were going on and on about Israel's wars. Israel has never occupied a single enemy capital in wartime. The closest they've been was Beirut, but that was while Lebanon had no government due to internal disarray. By comparison, even the cheese eating surrender monkeys have, over the years, ended up militarily occupying the capital city of every other major country in Europe, and dozens more across the planet. -- Carl
