I think that most land should be ceded, on both Gaza and the West Bank, and that a deal for public subsidy in lieu of trying to disentangle ancient land claims should be made. In other words, Israel will commit to building up Palestinian infrastructure. To that end, it is true, the settlements must, in almost every case, come down. I have some reservations about the immediate suburbs of Jerusalem, where it seems to me an argument can be made for a condominium that provides a buffer between Palestine proper and Israel, but that should be negotiated. From my perspective, Sharon is moving things along properly. The wall has been handled badly, but it is fundamentally the right move, if it could be adjusted to reflect Palestinian complaints. In any case, Sharon has shown that he will impose a settlement, if the Palestinians will not negotiate in good faith, and that is all to the good.
