The Islamist states of the middle east and north Africa alone are 500 times greater in land mass than Israel..they could easily provide between them, a homeland for the "Palestinians"..if they actually wanted peace in the area..but they don't want peace; haven't wanted peace with anybody for 4,000 years !
Virtually every Islamist state in the region is one form of dictator ship or another; why should the world want to hand over that small sliver of a democratic nation (Israel) to be turned into just another dictatorship, ruled by assinine laws that do nothing but to degrade and enslave their people. ?
What is to say that even if Israel were 'handed over" (God forbid) that the Islamists would be satisfied ? Handing them Israel would be like throwing dry tinder on a fire,....then the flames of Islam would set their sights on lands west.
That is EXACTLY what they did from the 7th t0 12th century..and they succeeded fairly well until El Cid kicked their mangy butts back to where they came from !
They always talk about how the western nations were so cruel during the "Crusades"..DUH ! The western nations were only trying to take back what was theirs to start with (since 70 AD)...After all, there wasn't any Islam before 620 AD ! Before 620, those Arab tribes were running around worshipping the moon, stars & critters..
Even today; in places like England, Canada and Denmark, they are starting to demand that "Sharia Law" be exercised in those countries..now that should give any reasonable person a clue as to what we, the world (and Israel especially) are up against !
We are dealing with a diabolical enemy that is bent on destroying our way of life, we may as well admit it and get on with it !
I say don't give them another inch ...unless it needs to be, and make it cold steel !
