Go look at a map. The West bank is a small sliver of land about 20 miles wide. If we were really discussing a border dispute, nothing that couldn't have been settled long ago.

I have Nadine. Every map I have seen recently with the Wall show the nice farmland in the Jordan river valley as staying part of Israel.

BTW, 20 miles wide is significant in that part of the world. We are not talking Montana here. It is rather longer than wide as well.

We are talking border dispute here. That is the whole deal actually. The Arabs would like the borders to be vanishingly small in fact.
