Possibly engineered to prove that it does not work. <br /><br />Israel should have moved the settlers out and left the army there until an agreement was reached with the Palestinians. That would have prevented the chaos.David Rananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550286775018902160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952542071404465260.post-47494438745018100202009-06-30T15:00:19.407+02:002009-06-30T15:00:19.407+02:00Don't you feel Gaza was a wake-up call to the ...Don't you feel Gaza was a wake-up call to the land-for-peaceniks?Marchttp://marcalandimartino.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952542071404465260.post-78609041077233604442009-06-25T15:21:58.525+02:002009-06-25T15:21:58.525+02:00H,

They need to move out of the existing settlements. <br /><br />A prime minister needs a mandate from his voters. Israelis have for quite a while given their votes to parties that are hard-line on the settlements issue. <br /><br />What Israel needs is a leader of change. More than courage, its about vision and the necessary charisma to change the direction in which the country is going.David Rananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550286775018902160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952542071404465260.post-20365707461209725762009-06-25T12:48:45.203+02:002009-06-25T12:48:45.203+02:00It is a blessing that Israel is not Iran.
Otherw...It is a blessing that Israel is not Iran. <br /><br />Otherwise I could not agree more with your analysis. Let us hope that we both will see the day when the Israeli Prime Minister has both the power and courage to stop further settlements in the West Bank.Hnoreply@blogger.com
