Israel has no enemies inside its borders and is more than capable of protecting itself from external enemies so no purpose would be served by stationing 5,000 US troops on its border.We have soldiers dying for the Afghanis and Iraqis, I'd think putting our soldiers into Israel would be directly on our interest and if the Arab nations agreed to it, problem solved.I think both sides think they will 'win' in the long run so neither side really wants to sacrifice for peace. Until they do the stalemate will continue.Let us suppose Israel removes all Jews from all settlements, grants Palestinians a right of return, gives Palestinians all of Jerusalem, removes the capital back to tel Aviv, tears down all security fences & grants Palestinian self determination.
Is there ANYONE nuts enough to believe even this would end in a lasting peace between Israel & the Palestinians? So again I ask, what will it take for peace, other than a total destruction & elimination of Israel & all Jews? And that will not ever happen.
The US could put pressure on Israel but we won't. If the US stationed 5,000 troops on the border their security would be insured and they could accept a peace deal knowing they will never again be invaded.
I don't think that would be a good idea. Many people believe that Zionist Jews control America as it is. I would not want one American soldier dying for Israel.
Israel still has enemies both inside and outside its borders. Life would be better for all involved if there was long term peace agreement.Silly stuff. Israel has won and there is no stalemate. Israel has insured its own security and it is safer to live in Israel, including the settlements in Judea and Samaria than it is to live in many large US cities.I think both sides think they will 'win' in the long run so neither side really wants to sacrifice for peace. Until they do the stalemate will continue.Let us suppose Israel removes all Jews from all settlements, grants Palestinians a right of return, gives Palestinians all of Jerusalem, removes the capital back to tel Aviv, tears down all security fences & grants Palestinian self determination.

It is simply not possible to make a formal peace agreement with the Palestinians because their leadership is fragmented and no political entity among them can credibly offer peace to Israel. Israel has already solved it security issues to the extent they can be solved and as for the Palestinians, they are just a collection of tribes, clans and gangs with not effective central leadership, so in diplomatic terms, they cannot even be considered a single political entity.
