Too many concessions

Submitted by Alyn Starkman (Canada), Feb 26, 2007 at 11:52

Everytime Israel makes a concession it reinforces the idea that it can be defeated. Daniel Pipes ideas about defeating the Palestinians makes sense, providing the Israelis dont turn around after winning the fight and start making concessions again.

The other matter that needs to be addressed is the refugee issue. This was created as a weapon by the Arab countries to hurt Israel. The Arab countries need to be told under no uncertain terms that peace will not be possible until this weapon is dismantled, which means they must resettle the refugees. Until they are willing to do that, the reality is that peace will not be possible and peace talks are simply a waste of time.
