Crimson > successive Israeli governments did have a long-term plan. No matter who was in power, the roads got built, the water stolen, the olive and fruit trees cut down (a million) the houses knocked over (12,000), the settlements imposed (300) the shameless protestations of good faith issued to the US press Yes, that's called the "peace process" -- and that's the Israel that HAMAS must "recognize". > The end of the story? I'd say the basic strategy is what it was in 1948: population transfer, to be achieved by making life so awful for Palestinians that most of them will depart, leaving a few bankrupt ghettoes behind as memorials to all those foolish hopes of a sovereign Palestinian state. I don't see it like that at all. IMO, today, unlike 1948, the Palestinians occupy the moral high-ground. Much as Israel would like to starve them into submission prior to further ethnic cleansing they will not succeed. Zionism has reached its zenith and it is now on the decline.
