#1 The so-called cycle will continue until the arrow is abandoned and the Palestinians accept a compromise--or until the arrow finds its mark and Israel dies. The Palestinians aren't about compromise so that leaves the other alternative for Israel in the Paleo agenda.

#2 But I point out again the flip side to this argument. The Paleos can only do this if the Israelis continue endlessly to not only let them do it, but to encourage them to do it.

Is it masochism or self-hatred that inspires the Israelis to toy with the Paleos? Isn't it insane to pretend that a wolverine can be trained, cajoled, bribed, or "loved" into behaving like a good dog?

It is a wolverine, even if you truly, hopelessly wish that it behaves like a dog. And Paleos are Paleos. They cannot be made to act in a civilized manner, though offered the chance for the 998th time.

So you create a condition where they behave themselves or cease to be. If all they care about is land, then for each offense, take away some of their land adjacent to Israel, extend the wall around it, and keep it in trust, but fallow. Let no one, not Paleos or Jews set foot on it; but let it be known that it is permanently now and forever part of Israel.

If they keep fighting, then eventually there will be no Paleo lands left in the whole nation. As a people they immigrate to Lebanon or Egypt or Jordan. The West Bank and the Gaza Strip cease to be.
