@A.P. Richelieu
You're Swedish right? Let Israelis and Palestinians discuss this. Unless you're Jewish? So you're more Israeli then Swedish? I don't get it.
Okay so you're saying a two state solution is out of question so why are Israelis telling us they support a two state solution? Why don't you also find nothing wrong with that fact that they want all of the Palestinian West Bank?
It seems you see nothing wrong in their actions.
You are making the mistake to assume that there is one opinion about the West Bank, which is not true.
In a democratic state, there is for every issue (A) groups that want (A) and groups that does not want (A).
(and some that do not know if they wan A or does not want A)
If you ask if people want (A), and then ask the same question one year later there might be
totally different answers.
So some Israelis want the West Bank, and definitely quite a few ministers in the current government
want the West Bank. That does not mean that all Israeli voters that vote for them, wants the West Bank
as a primary goal.
Some voters did not vote for them, because they think that there should be a Palestinian State
on the West Bank.
Some vote for them exactly because they want the West Bank and are hopeless cases.
These are the one that uproot Palestinian Olive trees.
Some people has immigrated to Israel and were only given the option to live on the West Bank.
They do not want to cause any harm, but they also want not to move, because thats how people
function. Does not like change, if it can be avoided.
Some voters vote for them just because they think thats the best option not getting a rocket through Your roof
while having Breakfast. These are your target voters.
And some older bimbos will vote for Netanyahu just because they find him handsome.
Your first problem is that too many Israelis vote for a government which is impossible to negotiate with.
You have to find a way to induce your target voters to vote in a way that is acceptable to you,
and then be prepared to really negotiate.
That takes the courage and leadership of someone like Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi.
Yassir Arafat was sofar the only leader of significance, but he chickened out.
Any negotiation must be accepted by the Palestinians as a group, so it does not result in a myth
that the leaders sold out.
Then a two state solution is possible. A lot of the smartest people have engaged themselves in this
without a solution, so it wont be easy, and the extremist on both sides will try to stop any progress.
Most people are not evil, if given a choice.
