| The settlements issue isn`t really much of an issue since we saw Israel evacuate all of Gaza with relative ease. The result was an even more hostile and non-peaceful environment for Israel. Perhaps Shalit would not have been abducted if they stayed. The EU should be more preoccupied with Arab and Hamas Recognition of Israel and getting all of the Arabs to join Israel at the peace table (where Israel has patiently waited since its inception). |
