Of course, that way, criminals will inevitably receive Israeli citizenship.
But so were the considerations before declaring independence, then too the US leadership thought it was unrealistic and that Israel would not survive the pressure.
70 years ago - security was already brought up as an argument against sovereignty.
Yet in spite of all the mess, Israel is one of the safest countries, its centers of population among the safest metropolitans, certainly more safe than many American cities, Paris and London.
The framework that was used for the last 30 years since Oslo has led only to inspiring hope among the Jihadis, and passed the problem to next generations. No practical alternatives have been suggested otherwise, that could out weight the benefits of sovereign control and Israeli citizenship for both sides of the conflict.
I don't see how keeping military control in Judea helps either Israeli politics, economy or security in the long run. Aside for the govt expenses and daily inconvenience, it leaves the too many open ends in an already unstable situatio, makes us look uncertain and fuels the same hope that prolonged the conflict for a whole century.
Fortunately demographics will leave Israelis no options because the center of the country is already overpopulated. Therefore for the next generation, which has more kids than previous and becomes more and more traditional, the main question is already on the table- Negev desert or the green hills of Judea?
The amount of US repatriates and investments moving to Judea, compared to the tech booming Be'er Sheva leaves no doubts as to the actual trends and priorities for the short term future.
