Yeah, a one state solution.

You deem something that will always cause anger and violence toward Israeli and jews in general as well as turning the international community against Israel to be a winning strategy? May I ask how you came to such a conclusion?
May I ask why you think israel's strategy won't work? A concrete example of how this anger and violence threatens this strategy would be nice.
A: The Muslim world already did that once and it didn't work out.
B: The US has veto power on the UN, and wouldn't send any army into Israel.
because eventually it will reach a threshold point that will have either have A: the muslim world sending a massive coalition army against Israel to stop it from further encroachment or B: the UN will get fed up with Israel's flaunting of international law and end up doing something about it probably once again involving a massive coalition army against Israel although this one would have better weapons than Israel.

no half the middle east sent troops against Israel the entire muslim world has never fielded an army against Israel.A: The Muslim world already did that once and it didn't work out.
there are so many things wrong with this that it isn't funny.B: The US has veto power on the UN, an an army against Israel wouldn't send any army into Israel.
Firstly I never said anything about genocide. secondly its a more of internal thing which however fucked up it may be gets more of a pass.Why hasn't the world risen up against the government of Darfur where quite literally millions are being killed in a true act of genocide?
there is nothing anti-semitic about my post.Your ridiculous post is nothing but an antisemitic fantasy. :roflmao:
... there is nothing anti-semitic about my post.
...according to your...logic...
Are you a sock-puppet of buffalo? you have his knack for making baseless guesses about my beliefs and me that he does.I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you haven't the same kind of natural or direct connection to or personal investment in the arab-israeli conflict that muslims or arabs have because you're neither of these or anything comparable.
I have not brushed them off? I don't mention them because I don't see any threads on them( which if they were I would like to discuss them)and they aren't relevant to this conflict.Yet you brush aside darfur and no doubt rwanda as if genuine genocide means nothing to you.
This is proof positive that your a moron who forms opinions based on what you want to believe rather than well facts.This is proof positive that you are indeed very very much a died in the wool fanatical jew-hater: For you, if it doesn't involve jews, it just doesn't matter.
I do. Do you?You need to recognize the difference between fantasy and reality.
yes because its perfectly sane to think a strategy that increases hatred and violence toward you is a winning won.You sound like a crazy person.
Now I know your buffalo or at least someone just like him.Your posts are shallow and show no real insight into anything.
...its perfectly sane to think a strategy that increases hatred and violence toward you is a winning won
You still haven't provided a plausible scenario where this hatred and violence can actually translate itself into a force that halts israel's continued settlement program. So many virtually impossible things would have to happen in the world before something like your laughable "unified massive arab army" scenario could happen. The chain of "what if's" here are simply too long for this to be assessed as anything but an imaginary threat, a paranoid fantasy, a delusion, a tempest in a teapot. The correct course for israel is to continue their annexation of the west bank thereby gaining leverage for future negotiations. At some point the palestinians must realize that the world is passing them by and they're creating nothing but misery for themselves and that all attempts to disrupt the basic quality of life for israelis through war, insurrection and terrorism have failed and will continue to fail.
... any attempt by Israel to annex any more land will garner more attention of the palestinian plight not less.

So you do not recognize your stance - of some kind of pretense of moral and political equivalence between aggressor and victim, of calling for an end to violence in the preservation of a status quo in which one side keeps its recent and still expanding gains by violence up to the minute of the "peace", and the other side accepts it losses and its recent degradations - as being favorable to one side and favorable to further violence from that side?quadro said:What that means is fostering a discourse that emphasizes commonality, understanding and peace, and discourages division. What we have now, however, is the opposite of that. We have a situation wherein a small group of people have become highly emotionally invested in the conflict and the stances of others on it, to the point of identifying with one side or the other and debasing their own reasoning on the issue. Once people overcommit in this way, they quickly fall victim to zero-sum, us vs. them thinking, which leads inevitably to escalation of hostility and so reinforcement of division. This is essentially the same dialectic process that sustains all difficult political issues.
