If the problem consisted of Fatah and Hamas only, Israeli politicians could lean back and wait. Unfortunately it is about the millions of Arabic-speaking civilians living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, most of them suffering heavily under Israeli occupation and isolation. Olmert let it drag on, Livni seems to be even more incompetent, and "Bibi" will find no solution: he can`t expel them under the eyes of the world public, and he can`t let them starve either.
No one can tell me that a state power that is strong enough to have oppressed those millions for 40 years could not remove some hundred thousands settlers from the West Bank. It is an
outdated Zionist ideology that blocks the only
reasonable solution. To dismiss it is Israel`s only chance to guarantee its citizen a normal life in a globalized world. |
