Palestinian Arabs have their state -- it is called Jordan and covers most of historical Palestine. The muslim issue with Israel is about the fate of the Palestinisn, it is about the existence of a Jewish state in the middle of the Ummah.
Bush is delusional about this, clinging to the Western idea that every conflict can be solved by compromises.

It is a "task impossible", whoever is in power. Arab muslims will never accept a Jewish state, no matter how small. Bush is delirious to think that giving money to Abbas will change the fundamental situation.

Israel does not have the political will or the ideological background to do that. Iran does.

Really? The Islamic Republic of Iran spent 7 of its 28 years of existence in a bloody war with Irak, and all of its 28 years of existence in supporting terrorists groups. Nice record of non-aggression.

There won´t be any intervention. Mugabe will live out his natural life, and he still looks pretty genki. Yes, liberation has been a great success for Rhodesia.

We don`t depend on North Korean oil. And even in case of North Kora, I would not bet on a nuclear retaliation. Remember the guilt-complex and self-flagellation of todays Western world.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, of course, has no such qualms. If you follow up on statements by Khameni and other leaders, you`ll find that they would even be happy with a nuclear retaliation -- after all, it would take many nukes to destroy Iran, but realistically only one to destroy the tiny state of Israel. And all the Iranian victims would go to paradise as martyrs, the highest reward for true believers.
So much for deterrence...

More "read my lips" nonsense. It is easy to talk tough for Billary. The fact is that Iran will get its islamic bomb, nobody will stop them, and even after Ahmedinejad nukes Israel, the Western reaction will be nothing more than huffing and puffing and soul-searching about what we did wrong. While assuring each other that the religion of peace has nothing to do with it.

Get used to hunger, third world. The first-world countries have decided to use crops for fuel and spend their ressources on a politically correct and open-ended effort to change global climate. That is more important than trivial things like food...

presto345:
Says who? Instability is not a long-term goal. Like all muslim clerics/warlords, of cours Al-Sadr wants stability eventually.... a stable state where Sharia is the law, the mullahs rule, the woment are under cover, the Kaffirs are either dead or pay the Jihzay, and the homosexuals have all been disappeared. There is nothing "unstable" about this. Unpleasant, yes, but not unstable.

If Arabs want Israel to withdraw entirely from the Westbank and give the Golan to Syria(the "return to the 1967 borders"), then it is entirely reasonable for Israel to ask for some guarantee for peace in return, starting with the recognition of Israel`s right to exist.
To ask Israel to withdraw into its already tiny territory under rocket fire and promises of holocaust is asinine.
Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon, and got... more terrorism. Israel withdrew from Gazah and got... more terrorism. Leaving the West Bank to become one giant Jihadist terror camp, pointint at the heart of Israel is akin to suicide for Israel.
Which is of course the the point for the muslim Jihadists like Hamas.

Frontandcentre:
"Yeah, Helter Skelter - it's so much better just to keep fighting, as long as the "enemy" is losing more women and children than your side is."
Israel is losing women and children with every Arab terrorist attack. Is that you what you mean? If you mean the Arabs, the population of Gaza has exploded from about 200,000 in 67 to about 2 million now. About 400,000 Arab residents who fled when Israel was founded, have multiplied to about 5 million "refugees" now, who demand the right to move to Israel and demographically conquer the Jewis state. Is that what you call losing? Dream on.

Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel, and was murdered for that by muslim activists.
Jimmy Carter is clueless about the nature of the Hamas movement in particular and islam in general. As proven by the fact that he interprets the "hudna" offered by Hamas as an offer for peace.

But yes, of course. The jihadist terrorism in South Thailand, in Mindanao, in Northern Nigeria, in Western China, and for that matter in the suburbs of Paris will all mysteriously go away once Israel is destroyed. Isn`t that simple!

If Hamas was really prepared to do that, it would not be Hamas. Here is a hint Dhimmi Carter and his believers: Read the fine print. What conditions does Hamas set for this? Let me guess: A "right of return" for 6 million Arabs claiming to be "refugees" -- i.e. the demographic end of Israel?

George,
read the Hamas charta. And Israel is not a "racist oppressing state"; the label is absurd.
