re: #76 Kenneth

I am not in favor of a Palestinian state in any part of Judea, Samaria or Galilee and certainly not in Jerusalem. But I do have some questions about the argument that a Pali state would increase terrorism.

Given that Fatah and Hamas do nothing constructive in building a functional civil society in their respective parts of the proposed Palestinian state, what would be the difference if a Palestinian state was created?

Exactly how would the existence of a Palestinian state increase the level of terrorism the various Palestinian factions now engage in?

Since it is clear from the statements of numerous Palestinian leaders that a “2 State Solution” is merely a stepping stone to the destruction of Israel & a single Palestinian state, would the UN, EU and US grow disenchanted with a new Palestinian state that continues to engage in terrorism against Israel?

A state would have control of its borders, and its military, and could arm with any weapons it chooses, including anti-aircraft missiles, bigger rockets, etc.
Just look at how terrorism increased from Gaza.
