re: #13 SanFranciscoZionist

And this is one argument I must recuse myself from.

Why? My Imam is half-Palestinian, and 2 other friends are Palestinian in whole. I have a personal connection and emotional investment in the Palestinians. I’m hoping a Third Party will come about that will sweep both Fatah and Hamas out.

However, with Lieberman and Netanyahu in power, the settlements will continue to be built, what little is left of the Palestinian West Bank will continue to be taken, and the remaining towns choked off. And the checkpoints surrounding each Palestinian enclave will make inter city commerce impossible.

Unless the whole West Bank region for a proposed state is contiguous, and has a border to Jordan (So it isn’t in a Lesotho situation), any Palestinian State would be unviable.
