[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2589215, member: 3371"] Do you really believe that Netanyahu would ever accept a Palestinian state? I don't. I know the official Israeli position is still one that accomodates a two state solution but I think it is only lip service for Netanyahu. We've already covered the fact that he disavows the Oslo accords. He participates in peace conferences but authorizes new settlements on Palestinian land on the same day of the peace conference. Does anyone build 200 settlements on land they don't intend to keep? Rabin would have accepted a Palestinian state, Peres used to, Netanyahu does not. He might say so because he knows that HAMAS is not going to call his bluff and agree. As I have alluded to before, this is a different Israel than the one we used to know. Demographics have changed and attitudes with them. Israel today is comprised mostly of people who were born there and lived there all their lives. [I](Netanyahu is the first Israeli prime minister born in Israel after the establishment of the state)[/I]. The greatest generation is disappearing more every day. Netanyahu looks at a divided Arab world and believes that he doesn't have to accept a Palestinian state anymore. I don't think Israel is any more righteous, or less, than the Palestinians. Two sides of the same coin but we Americans have chosen sides on the basis of religion and propaganda. Now, here is another possible solution: If you turn the electricity and water off and blockade import and export trade perhaps enough people will voluntarily leave to escape the poverty and misery to make the issue moot.
