    And the ComDems have accomplished what in the last 3 years? Other than disenfranchise, smear, berate and belittle 67 million Americans? And destroying our political institutions and trampling the Constitution?

    I agree about the blood and treasure aspect, but the fact is that there is a high percentage of the population in the ME that just want to be left alone, and are pretty much innocent parties to the chaos.

    This is more than Israel has ever agreed to, I hope there is some real arm twisting on going on behind the scenes to get the Palestinians on board.

    If this gets done, it should be worth a Nobel.

    When I was in the Army, I deployed twice to Israel - 3 months the first time then 6 months the second time. Great place and great people. Other than rockets coming in from the Golan Heights, in some ways it was like being in the US. Advanced, highly educated population, many with family ties to the U.S. One family I got to know via their IDF soldier has a copy of the US Bill of Rights, framed, and hanging on the wall. Of any foreign Nation, these people are the closest to Americans you'll ever meet.

    Never going to happen. The so called leadership of the palestinians is entirely dependent on being the "victims" of the Israelis. Remove that "victimhood" and they would have to stand or fall on their own merits. "Victimhood" makes them relevant, without it they become nothing

    A long time ago, I believe it was Rabin (I may be wrong) that essentially gave into every demand that Arafat wanted. Rabin only wanted peace and recognition of Israel. Arafat refused. The victimhood mentioned above plays a part if you are on the lower scale. But for the leaders it would mean a loss of international money and takes away their leverage and power. Arafat embezzled millions to his own account. He lived like a king. (Full disclosure: I was acquainted for a time with a guy that was Arafat's personal driver/bodyguard)
    Anyway, as long as Israel exists, there will never be peace. The Palestinians would rather live as they do than ever accept Israel. Culturally, they believe that they are God's chosen race as descendants of Abraham and the first born of Abraham (that gives us the modern Arab) has the greater claim than Isaac (that gives us the modern Jew). And yeah, they hold that belief dearly.

    I stand corrected. I knew the story wasn't sure of the Israeli PM.

    What are the chances this is one last hoorah, and effort at diplomacy before we tell Bibi that he can annex everything, and unleash the IDF to clear out all the parasitic/psychotic leadership and other true believers, so there can actually be peace.

    "We tried to play nice, we gave you one last chance, but you wouldn't listen.... We're done here, give Arafat our regards when you see him in hell"


    I'm not sure why we've been tying their hands for so long.
