#1 I ain't buying the 2 state/aparthied comparison.
How can it be aparthied if the Paleo's have thier own international borders?
How can it be aparthied if the Paleo's have thier own governent,independant of Israelie control?

#2 Fred, are we forgetting that the Paleos want ALL of Israel, West Bank, and Gaza? This is not news, only a repeat of an earlier demand. I like Sharonâs solution: Build a Wall/Declare a border. That would leave ALL the (PLO) players swinging in the wind. Of course it lead to a ?new? terror state in the middle east.

#3 I've always argued that Israel should unilaterally declare a Palestinian state. Tell them, here is your country, these are your borders, Yasser is your leader. Oh, and any Palestinian terror attack will be considered an Act of War, between two states.

#5 It will be interesting to see what happens when Israel has its wall and says the paleos are not our problem. Its a mess and they have blown their only chance to get out of the mess - leveraging off Israel's success. Its a problem that no-one can fix and I doubt anyone will seriously try. The press and NGOs will leave cos it will be too dangerous, and then this will be the mother-of-all-failed-states. Then what? Either they are left to die like flies in their own mess or we will have a radical 21st century solution. I personally favour resettling them to Saudi Arabia, probably at gunpoint and SA picking up the tab.

#6 We've got to nip this "declare a one-state solution" gambit in the bud, pronto. Can you imagine if Mexico gets wind of this? We might end up having 60 states stretching down through Central America. That's too damn many stars on the flag. I refuse to memorize any additional state capitals (I still get the capitals of the Washington and Oregon mixed up.)
