daydreams

Dr Pipes is day-dreaming about reviving the old partition. Its not going to happen, because all partitions lead to bloodshed. History proves this concept to be false.

Egypt sees the strip as cannon-fodder in the Arab war leading to the demise of the Jewish State. Partition with Jordan is even worse. Hamas will take over on both sides of the jordan and israel will become uninhabitable. Or more likely will go for a forecfull eviction of all Arabs. Arab countries care nought about the Arab refugees. They care about the destruction of Israel, using and abusing refugees as human fodder is paert and parcel of that process.

The only viable option is full israeli control of the Land of Israel, where every person who endangers it is extradited to his ethnic home-country.
