I agree with much that Krauthammer writes, but not to his overriding point that this will hurt chances for peace. His history is right but on occasion in FP one has to do things that foster a good end as in "ends justify means". Our side in Lebanon just won an election yesterday. On Friday, perhaps ahmadijad loses in Iran. Maybe just maybe Obama in Cairo had something to do with this. And if this leads to peace thats backed by arab states and accepted by hamas and hizbo---big if for sure---this slight to israel wont mean anything at all because at the end of the day there will be two states with firm borders and on that day israeli settlements will be either within then new borders and not expandable beyond that border or they will become non-existant and/or within palestine territory.

Krauthammer is a long time dual-loyalty American Zionist and unreconstructed neocon. Every word he writes should be read in that context.

What's the issue? No "natural growth" means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the 1949 armistice line, many of them suburbs of Jerusalem, that every negotiation over the past decade has envisioned Israel retaining. It means no increase in population. Which means no babies. Or if you have babies, no housing for them -- not even within the existing town boundaries. Which means for every child born, someone has to move out. No community can survive like that. The obvious objective is to undermine and destroy these towns -- even before negotiations. What a joke......and you say the ole Kraut is your best journalist. Yes, that's right......Israel is totally full......there is not room to move inside its borders so it has to have its babies in the West Bank. What a bunch of lying trolls you all are.
