I was responding to this: "How about the borders where the Israelis already are?"

Now if you look at a map of the West Bank you will see that the settlements control about 70% of the West Bank. The wall about 17%. Nadine did not specify which "borders" she was in favor of. So I take "How about the borders where the Israelis already are?" to mean(considering her extreme Zionist approach to the problem) the 70% and not the 17%. Even if she meant the 17% it still is not certain that the Palestinians would accept this without massive compensation since an accept of the wall represents an accept of thievery. I don't believe that the Israelis can offer a complete removal of all settlements outside the wall since this would be political suicide for anyone to do so. Said in another way: some right wing Israeli nut case would shoot who ever proposed that solution.

What I would be happy with is not relevant.
