>> there is no widespread (emphasize that word, please) "plan to make life intolerable for palestinians, so eventually they will leave." Where are they going to go?

Every once in a while the "palestinians have a state. It is called Jordan" argument gets revived.

The other plan, was around 1999, the US offered to lift sanctions from Iraq if iraq would accept a million Palestinians. Tareq Aziz gave a couple interviews where he said it was rejected.

And alternatively, the whole plan of invading Iraq, along with the Israeli killings, home demolitions, road blocks, lock-downs, etc...., these are designed to make palestinians demoralized and despair to the point of giving up their claims to their previous homes and resigning to a life as wards of the UN refugee system, or if they are on their best behavior, janitors and porters for Israelis who imported a million russians into their old lands.

Of course there are decent people in Israel. But they are drowned out by the camp that sees a historic opportunity to expand the land and put permanent settlement on it so it will be impossible for the palestinians to reclaim it. Why else arre they building the wall to fragment palestinian villages ?
