As I've said innumerable times, "you can't be a little bit pregnant." At some point you're going to have to deal with a baby, a human being who grows and develops. As every parent will tell you, it's impossible to control a child's future. You can't control his/her physical development, looks, mind etc. I'm certainly not living the life my parents "planned" for me, and my children have gone their own ways, too.
When it comes to the concept of the "two state solution," the Likud is no better than Meretz, Labor, Kadima or any of the even more extreme Left Israeli groups. That's because once they opened that Pandora's Box the genie that escaped can't be controlled by anyone.
Read the English subtitles here on this MEMRI film clip. Abbas Zaki, a member of Fatah's central committee, is very clear as to his plans about the destruction of the State of Israel. You can't, nobody can "negotiate" that away.
United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, like U.S. President Barak Hussein Obama, VP Biden or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can't make the Arab goal of destroying Israel go away. And Bibi can't either. It may not be all that simple, but Israel must make its way out of that dangerous corner.

Israel must stop pretending there is a way to split the difference with the Arabs. The Land Of Israel is not Belgium, not Canada and not South Africa. The dominant people of the region - the Arabs, are opposed to recognizing Jewish nationhood. There is no reason on earth why Israel should consent to acknowledge theirs when Israel's own national rights have gone unreciprocated. A Palestinian Arab state will lead not to peace and co-existence but to war and bloodshed.
This is an outcome Israel must never accede to.
Zechariah 14:2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.
Norman, we must never compromise.
a, been there, done that
The people who cling to G-d know there is no comprise possible - EVER!. The Left and others think capitulation is the key. They want to please those who want us to disappear. Their bright idea is suicide for Israel but they want to make it look like it was our own decision to commit suicide. It is a gun pointed at our collective head and the death blow is "peace." Ultimately this will be their undoing. We have to have emuna. G-d will only allow them enough rope... Justice is coming.
We have to make the justice in this world. G-d doesn't intervene too much. Of course, He did in 1967 and 1973 and the gulf war...
Justice is coming for the nations and it will not be "us" dealing it to them... that is the Justice I speak of...
you forget gods presence in the holocaust.
i too am not a fan of a palestinian state at this juncture, tho there are conditions under which i would agree to make painful compromises.
I have no idea if all you a's are the same. Please make up a name, so I have some idea if you're a new "a" or old one.
G-d did not kill Jews in the Holocaust. MAN HAS FREE WILL! It was man's sin.
a, you may be willing to "make painful compromises," but I refuse to cooperate with murderes. I would never make it easier for them to destroy me, my community and my country.
For gosh sakes, how blatant can one get? Does Obama or any other world leader see this? Are they pretending everything is hunky dory? That the Palis just want 'peace' with Israel, when they are themselves quite up-front here in stating that they want Israel's destruction.
Are the leaders of the world all 'looking the other way?'
It's the emperor's clothes all over again. Nobody wants to face the music. Nobody wants to 'smell the coffee.'
I mean, what part of 'we want to destroy Israel' do they not understand?
LL, the problem is with us, the Jews who perpetuate the cult of "peace." When we unite and storngly tell the truth, everyone will leave us alone.
