On one side, we have, of our own doing, an Islamist enclave we cannot live with nor defeat. On the other one, if you are to be believed, a Godot that will never come to be a relevant partner. Israel is lost. In one decade, two at most, having failed to separate from the Palestinians, we will be facing a solid Muslim majority on all Eretz-Israel, demanding One State for two People and "One man one vote". The Jewish homeland will then enter history, the Nations telling us, "Sorry guys, but you had your chance." Historians will then look back at Zionism and wonder how could a clever people, with so many Nobel Prizes to its credit, that gave the world so many luminaries, and was looking upon itself as a Light upon the Nations, has managed to let miserably pass an unique opportunity to live at last free in its own homeland. "We must either have a Palestinian state in our neighborhood, or we will become a Palestinian state." Yehoshafat Harkabi, "the only commander of military intelligence to have had a good command of Arabic, in addition to genuinely professional knowledge of Arab civilization and history, and of Islam." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehoshafat_Harkabi
