I think it's really funny that JewishConservative is trying to out Israel me.  It's also a little scary.

Unfortunately, Netanyahu supports a two state solution. Sad

He was probably pressured into it, dammit.

As I've said, it is in the best strategic interests of Israel for there to be a State of Palestine.

No.

How is it not in the best interests of Israel?  I've already explained why it is, now you explain why it isn't.

Still waiting.

yeah, I personally know the King of Kings, Christ Jesus, and he considers them part of Israel.

Roll Eyes

He has no authority on the matter now that Bush is out of office.

How about you answer my question?

you honestly believe that these terrorists will leave Israelis Alone?

I believe a State of Palestine is in the best interests of Israel.

I could live with the "1949-1967" boundaries for a Palestinian State.  One of my major concerns is with having an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but I don't think I need to worry too much about that.

"Aw.. poor Palestinians your not evil, you just elect terrorists to office and let them throw missiles and bombs into Israel for no good reason. Your not bad, society made you bad!  Israel is bad  beucase they stole so much land!"

This Stupid liberal foreign policy will not bring peace, It'll bring more oppression on the Jews and Israel.

If Muslims can't let Jews have a tiny strip of land, then the Muslims don't deserve any land!

That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen posted, and that includes what Stark posts.

If (when) a Palestinian State is established, I think it needs to be one continuous state, rather than little pockets throughout current Israel.

One of the states will be noncontiguous, and I don't think it'll be Israel.

And that worries me.

And what would Gaza have as an export? Could they have a viable economy? Or would they end up being some third world welfare state?

For that matter, could any sort of Palestinian State avoid this?

They're pretty good at exporting sympathy despite constantly blowing sh**t up, is there any value in that?

They export terror in general.

You know of another reason for the sympathy of the Palestinians, other than the massive civilian casualties, especially in comparison with Israel, they have suffered in this and other wars?

They've suffered more civilian casualties because the terrorists deliberately insert themselves in densely populated areas.  Israel has done so much to minimize civilian casualties among the Palestinians; but you don't care, you'll just continue blaming Israel no matter what they do.

The Gaza strip is extremely densely populated. There was no way for Israel to avoid inflicting (nor were they that bothered, as you claim: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8128210.stm) massive civilian casualties with the means used in the war.

Amnesty International has consistently applied a different standard to Israel than toher nations.  It always looks to blame Israel, regardless of the facts.  Israel tries to minimize civilian casualties, despite what some groups will say.

Same.  I don't consider Stark a conservative, though.
