>Ariel is not by the Jordanian border, it is just few km west of Hertzelia. It's closer to the Jordanian border than it is to Israel. Including it in the security fence cuts off a significant amount of the West Bank from the rest of the West Bank. >As for settlements, yes, a lot of them will be disbanded, though personally, I see no reason for it. Just as there are many Arab "settlements" within the green line, with peace, why should there not be Jewish settlements with the Palestinian state? It surely could help the economy of a future Palestinian state. Why cause more people displacement. After all a true peace should bring cooperation, not confrontation, leaving those settlements there would be an excellent test of the real intentions of a new second Palestinian state. Know why? Because true peace is an illusion in this case. Screw peace. The best Israel can hope for with the Palestinians is detente. The Palestinians' minds have been so poisoned by generations of propaganda from their leadership, that they're not really going to commit to true peace any time soon. Israel should worry about its security, and it should take the high ground. -Z

One thing seems fairly clear...there is no one on either side interested in solving this problem...and one certainly can't rely on this administration to take any initiative either. So you continue to kill each other. Bottom line is you have become a burden to the modern world, as it seems impossible to sit back and leave you both to the respective miserable fates you seem to have chosen for yourselves... story.news.yahoo.com Al
