Adam's Apple said:One small detail was left out of the talk about Israel ceding their land to the Palestinians. My best recollection is that they did not do this "ceding" voluntarily. They were pressured into it by their "friends" who thought that giving Israel's land to the Palestinians would keep the peace in that area. Such simpletons!
Actually, not quite accurate. If you're talking about the negotiations, well, the Palestinians never signed on to the accords, so no land was ceded based on "pressure".
Israel had to make a decision... they could cut loose the Palestinians by dumping them and their areas, or stop being a democracy... because the Palestinian birth rates were outpacing the Israeli's to such a degree that they'd have destroyed the Jewish State anyway.
Like I said, I think they're pretty pragmatic.
