ima, proudveteran06,
et al,
I will stipulate that the "Occupied Territories" and the administration of them, the post-'73 conflict ground control, and the post-'67 conflict ground control contain legitimate grievances on behalf of certain parties. The establishment of Israeli settlements inside the "Occupied Territories"
(beyond the '67 borders) are a fundamental problem.
Another lie Pro- Palestinians tell. Israel grabs " more land?" It seems she " forgot" that Rocket attacks actually increased after Israel left Gaza. " Meaningul offer?" 67 Borders that were never recognized or respected plus " Right of Return?' lol Only in your dreams. Ask what proposals Abbas has put forth and there will be no response. VERY VERY SLOWLY read the Websters definition of " Negotiations"

.
I guess you just can't understand simple things, can you even tell me what I was trying to say? hint: it has nothing to do with the arabs or Abbas. And I'm not pro-Palestinian, I'm pro peace, I want israel to make a peace offer so it doesn't get nuked.
PS the Israelis just built more settlements in the WB, that's called taking more land. Get it?
[
The reason Israel is " taking more land " lol is because they know that with Abbas or any other Palestinian " leader" nothing is going to happen. Get it?
Having so stipulated: --- It must be equally as understood that the expansion of Israeli territorial control is directly associated with and attributed to the multinational military threat directly presented by the Arab Middle Eastern nations. That post conflict control was not unilaterally a result or independent action on the part of Israel. It was an outcome and consequence of Arab Aggression.
PART II:
Both sides have legitimate concerns. Our friend "ima" is correct, in that the expansion consequence must be elastic --- it must spring back to the 1967 Borders.
Israel will never go back to the Borders that weren't recognized or respected in the first place. We see what happened after Israel left Gaza. The increased Rocket fire started Immediately. Jordan was supposed to let Jews have access to their Holy Sites in E. Jerusalem which of course they didn't do. Israel will never be deprived of them again.
But "proudveteran06" is also correct in that there must be a meaningful dialog and good faith negotiation between the parities to resolve the issues with a lasting peace as an outcome.
Ask her or any other Pro- Palestinian what " compromises" Abbas has made and there will be no response. There is nobody home
Nuclear Weapons is not a solution. Should the Arab World, in any of its forms, attack Israel with a nuclear weapon, the consequences would be incalculable. Everything in the Middle East of value will be put at risk. The retribution it would trigger - would be beyond imagination; Mecca, Qom, Damascus, Cairo, Riyadh, and Tehran --- all at risk of being destroyed. (Imagine!)
The weaponization of the Middle East is not a solution. Nuclear weapons present an unacceptable risk, even if the Arab nations win the destruction of Israel. The total destruction outcomes are not something the Arab world would want in exchange. No Arab nation would risk such an outcome set, unless they are (the Arab World) is actually suicidal. In which case, the question becomes what does the world do with a region infected by insanity?
Yes, the honest negotiation is a key. But each side must be willing to speak with an authoritative and meaningful voice. And this is a drawback on the Arab side, as they have no single voice, no one that represents their side of the grievance process.
Most Respectfully,
R
