The expiation of Jews

The very fact that the handover of Land means the deportation of Jews gives the assent to the Hamas position that Dar-Al-Islam must be jew free as a precondition for peace. That is why his plan guarantees further bloodshed, for if bloodshed caused a deportation from one tract of land, why not the rest of it? How is Tel-aviv less a part of Dar Al Islam than Psagot or Beth-el? Juden-rein is a Nazi principle and the vision of a Jew mandating Jewish expulsion as some king of expiation of crime is revolting, it is Nazi in essence.

In the end Jewish sovereignty and Arab pride are incompatible. One of the parties will have to leave if bloodshed is to be avoided. Since the Jews have nowhere to go, whereas Arabs have the whole of Dar-Al-Islam to move to (and that includes Andalus and Londonistan) it will have to be the Arabs who leave, and sooner the better, before the Persian Bomb disintegrates over damascus or Amman.
