I am a to-state guy without pre-conditions. And it will take a long time. Violence failed, negotiations failed, but there is one thing that has yet to be tried: trade. As a start, I envision a free trade zone established on the border of Jordan, Israel and WB. Then it get too complicated for a post.

They certainly did. They conspired and started a war that prompted the Nakba. Israel responded to the anti-Zionist violence, with dire consequences to Palestinians and the aggressors alike If you ar interested in details, they are well documented here: file:///Users/distanceed/Downloads/S_710-EN.pdf

I make typos. Sue me.

Tom, you are unwell. Take a break and take care of yourself.

Syria Palaestina, genius. Then, 2000 years later came the Stern gang. Came and went 8 years later, before the first Israeli prime minister ever knew where his office would be. You will never find a bigger idiot than yourself to agree with you.

And three generations after military rule ended. As of now, the Arab coalition pledged to join any coalition that would topple Netanyahu. They think the opposition is different. We will find out soon enough, no?

Not until very recently. Lebanon Christians were actually allied in Lebanon's civil war. What made you wonder?

Don't tell me you are more ignorant of international law thgan you are of English grammar! Ever heard of "in whole or in part" clause? Tell me, how does it relate to ethnic cleansing? Don't be shy!

I am certain it was something else. Before Hamas and Hezbollah, there were Arab League, PLO, Fatah, Islamic Jihad. Palestinians suffered most at the times and areas where the militants from these groups were most active, and not just in Israrel. Palestinians in Israel, OTOH, had been relatively safe

Oh, the ingratitude! How will I ever recover?

Because I couldn't believe the extent of your ignorance and your laziness. You could have done it all yourself, but nooooo! I had to spoon feed you like a petulant toddler that you are.

Are you aware that most words have multiple meanings? Can you count to 3? Then look up the third meaning of "contiguous". It's highlighted for your convenience. It's staring you in your bewildered face, genius.

Thar makes it 60 years with no military rule for Israeli Palestinians. They not only didn't want to leave, they didn't leave. And today, the Arab Coalition is the kingmaker party in the next Israeli elections. With ethnic cleansing like this, who needs refugee camps in Syria!

Contiguous, as in having no temporal gaps. Get a thesaurus, genius, and quit embarrassing yourself.

No, I mean they weren't forced out. They chose to stay, and they stayed. Since 1948 and before. No military rule for them. As opposed to the annexed by Jordan West Bank, where they became Jordanians. Don't you know anything about the Palestinians other than the convenient parts?

Then you don't get to drink "for" breakfast.

Do better.

Whether its with or for, it's at (as in during) breakfast. Unless you don't consume any food or drinks AT breakfst, genius. You are totally ignorant of international law, aren't you? Ever heard of the "in whole or in part" clause? No? Go get an "IHL For Dummies", genius. And a dictionary.

Oh please, will you ever get off your dogma? Two million Palestinians are Israeli citizens. Yo want to know how they got to be Israelis? They never left their homes.

I am justifying restrictions on suspected terrorists. Most Palestinians are not. The ratio is probably 4,000 to 1. Most of them are not on trial.
