why Israel may be making these withdrawals
Reader comment on item: Mr. Olmert Visits Washington
Submitted by lee brock (United States), May 17, 2006 at 12:31
what about the demographic problem of Israel having all those Arabs? And won't the Europeans in time demand a one-state solution, with one man, one vote, which would be the end of Israel? Not to mention the demoralization of Israel having to lord over the Palestinians in the West Bank, which I gather they don't like doing? what you say makes sense, but I believe this is why the Olmert government with Sharon has made this decision of unitlateral border setting.
