Set a date and make it known to the palestinian people plain and clear..either get out there and crush these extremists (with or without israels help) or we will have to just go into unrestricted war mode and settle things once and for all. Sure there would be pockets of resistance for some time but eventually they would be starved out and Israel would be able to better watch its new borders to control any influx of arms or supplies to the remaining few palistinian nut jobs.

Of course this will only work if you just want to settle things once and for all.
Yeah. Peace will be resolved, all bombings will cease, and a new Palestinian state will be formed by XX/XX/XXXX (suggest: 1/1/2005) or the US/Israel will simply eradicate the peoples of Palestine for failure to conform to humanity's basic levels of social competence.

Of course, we'd have to get Israel to QUIT SETTLING or it just would not be fair. Roping Sharon's land-grab machine would take one heck of a cowboy. Dubya can't do it, and the Marlboro man died of lung cancer, so.... :shrug:

Plus, this would really result in a Muslim v. Christian/Secular clash everywhere on the planet, as most of those pay at least lip service, if not homage, to the Palestinian plight as the root cause. Of course, maybe it's going to come to this no matter what we do.

Welcome back Magik!!!

While you were away I was using your fonts for a time. People thought it was you posting liberal ideas so they had to go back a reread the post. I thought it was funny, but the crazy mods were going to ban me so I had to stop. [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

Your fonts are protected.

Anyway back on topic I say let them take out the fanatics at least.

They need a good natural disaster...get everybody working together for a common goal. Small asteroid perhaps?

Pritchke: I think the concern was more to do with the appearence of mocking and ridicule perhaps rather than protecting the font and color, but Im glad I have them to come back to.

TL: [img]smile.gif[/img] There may have been a teensey bit of sarcasm in my middle east peace plan. But really...if there are no palistinians left....whats to fight over?

Seriously I do not personally advocate genocide but Im seriously not seeing any other solution to this. As TL pointed out..these people have been at it for centuries. Not a happy situation but necessity is some times a harsh mistress.

Hmmm this has merrit....lets see...if we can maneuver a small asteroid into crashing down right on the temple mount....wiping out most of the population in that part of the world. Now how do we manage this?

Speaking in a strictly technical basis...no. Hitler would only have destroyed a percentage of the Jewish peoples that later relocated back to land givento them by the League of Nations and Britain.

You do realize that the Israelies actually have a legal right to Israel, and as for the land they seized after the land grant by the LON and Britain it is completely understandable after the historical attacks they have suffered by by the combined might of the Arab League...not once but three times. (well Egypt did declare a peace after the second massive attack.)

They don't have a right to the three areas they seized with their preemptive attack of the Arab League in '67. Gaza, Golan, West Bank. The areas where the term "settlements" is being used to describe what they're doing are those areas that are not theirs by any legal right other than annexation -- which is no legal right.
