Isnt the notion that Israel must expand to protect it from rocket attack logically stillborn?

By that definition, the moment an enemy has you within range you have to take away its land!? Israels settlements are not needed for defense and it cant be said the entire eastern portion of the West Bank that Israel uses as a buffer is still necessary because no conventional forces will battle into Israel again. The 67 borders were defensible back in 67 and they still would be now!

I do not agree with land for peace but Israels strategy of strangling the Palestinians into submission will never work either.

    How do the Palestiians defend themselves without modern weapons?

    Israel CONTRACTED and that's how this happened! Israel is NOT expanding. Why are you making a false accusation like that?

    During Oslo, Israel & the world poured money & help into Palestinians. They responded with an Intifdata.

    Israel's holding down attackers....not strangling them... hoping someday they'll come to their senses. So you name how to make that happen -- niceness hasn't worked yet!!

    Not with Gaza withdrawal, not with Oslo & WB & Gaza development.

    A man says he's going to kill you. You get pressured to let him up. Every time you do - he tries to kill you. He keeps ranting that it's his goal. Pressuring you, claiming it's because you have him down -- isn't reality.

    '67 was only defensible through a lot of luck. Going to '67 encourages the same attacks. It's not the borders that are at argument anyway. There are Israelis who think '67 is where it will end. It's that the Palestinians TURN down having a country and peace -- with Gaza withdrawal, with Oslo, with Barak's offer... within their own charters and in their Arab media (translated: http://www.palwatch.org)/ Those are distractions!

    However if you can give a realistic solution, everyone in Israel is listening. They want PEACE! They pulled up the Sinai and Gaza and left Lebanon for it. They planned to turn over 95% of WB for it. So please what's the realistic answer?? How do you get your attacker not to kill you?

    Humans tend not to be logical when they are being attacked.

    In this case you need to look at a map to realize we are talking about a country the size of New Jersey and yes, land is needed so that major population centers aren't easy targets.

    What you think is logical, that they will not be attacked again is not founded on fact, you are using western logic which would be accurate, but this is not governed by western logic but rather on emotional and eastern concepts which encourage the fighting of losing battles.

    The Palestinians could be really radical, and try living in peace where they are.

    consistent with hazard they might desire to definitely positioned a plan in place that's not engineered to fail, and is so unreasonable as to make the Palestinian management reject it.

    Irasel had offered Palestine 98% of everything they had asked for during the last serious negotiations.

    And they said NO.

    WHO's not serious about peace in the middle east ? That's right...the terrorist state of Palestine run by HAMAS.

    What's ILLOGICAL is that the US is now supporting know terrorist organizations more than legitimate countries.
