Its become pretty clear to me how Israeli rule in the West Bank is going to end through Palestinian people power.
People get readyI would prefer that the occupation ended in orderly fashion, without chaos, with the settlers living near the Green Line feeling unthreatened and the others having plenty of time to relocate. Unfortunately, this is not happening; Id hoped the Obama administration would pressure Israel out of the West Bank, but nobodys pressuring it out of anything. The 43-year status quo becomes more entrenched each day.
Still, the bad blood has been rising among the Palestinians, the Arabs, Europe, liberal America, and the bad blood in Israel has been rising in kind. Somethings going to blow, I figured, and my guess was that Israel would start one war too many, maybe against Iran, or Lebanon, or Gaza, and masses of Israelis as well as foreigners would die, and when the smoke cleared it would be recalled that we started it, and the world would finally run out of patience with us and we would get out of the West Bank in a lather to avoid being ostracized, to save ourselves from becoming a Jewish North Korea.
