LOL! That would surely encourage some quick thinking... -g

But the situation is far from being symmetric. On the Israeli side those people are a small minority. On the Arab side it's nearly everyone. It's the street, the mainstream - and the leadership.

There is a pretty symmetrical answer to that in Jewish religious claims to Greater Israel. I'll concede that perhaps it is a smaller fraction of the populace, but it is vocal.


Vocal, shmocal. Barak agreed to Clinton's proposals, Arafat walked away without a counter-offer, and started a terror war. That seems pretty assymetrical to me.
