You're no slouch in the wordsmith category yourself, Rocco.georgephillip, et al,
Interesting observation.
(COMMENT)As with everything that guided Israel's national policy, demographics were an overriding factor... unilateral separation doesn't guarantee peace, Arnon Sofer, the so-called 'Arab counter' who helped devise the Gaza separation, remarked in 2004.
There is nothing that guarantees peace. Political guarantees are mental aberration.
Separations and quarantines only is a temporary measures that improves the potential to avoid confrontation. Security barriers only provide obstacles to overcome, a physical resistance between belligerent opponents.
Peace is achieved by mentally achieving an agreement that is mutually beneficial.
It is very important to understand who Max Blumenthal is and where he fits in the game. You must also understand that many of the catch phrases Blumenthal uses are exactly the same as those used by people like Diana Buttu, esq; as in the older video P F Tinmore gave to us. He is one of the believers that attempts to suggest that since 1893, the Zionist have had this plan to confine the most number of Palestinians in the smallest possible space. Which is almost the exact same script that Diana Buttu sung from. These people are promoting the adoption of a Palestine that is an Islamic Waqf, and the dismantlement of the Jewish National Home. The "solemn declaration" that the Arab Higher Committee made in 1947, that said: The only way to establish partition is first to wipe them out man women and child;" is one way concept - only allowed to be used by the Hostile Arab Palestinian. That is, it is absolutely essential that if the Jewish opponent adopts the same philosophy, it must be demonized.
Having said that, Arnon Sofer is not mad. He adopted the best possible alternative (separation) as a means of preventing a confrontation with an opponent that has made a "solemn declaration" that said: The only way to establish partition is first to wipe them out man women and child."
Be cautious of the Max Blumenthal's and the Diana Buttu's. They have an agenda and are consummate wordsmiths.
Most Respectfully,

Sofer, on the other hand, appears to combine a clear political agenda with a far less nuanced vocabulary:
"Sofer spelled out the implications of the withdrawal... 'when 2.5 million people live in a closed off Gaza, it's going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today, with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam. The pressure at the border will be awful. It's going to be a terrible war. So if we want to remain alive, we have to kill and kill and kill, all day, every day. If we don't kill, we will cease to exist.'"
If you compare the ratio of Jew to Arab in Palestine of 1893 with today's number, would not any rational Arab come to the conclusion his only choice is between resistance and extinction?
