The Israelis have announced more settlement activity.

Who here is familiar with the chess term "zugzwang"?

I made a realisation today - I don't think Bibi wants the 1967 borders because he doesn't think they're ultimately defensible if the Palestinians were to become determined to destroy Israel - it's less than 15 miles from the western border of the West Bank to the centre of Tel Aviv. Many of us commute further.

Remember that when faced with a possible attack on those borders (the ceasefire lines from 1948), Israel struck first and in 1973, operating on the current borders, came pretty close to using nukes.

What would happen if Israel started war? That could lead to a international catastrophe.

They started the war in 1967 - didn't do them too much harm.
