Ferd, haven't you read anything written by the Zionists prior to and after the establishment of the nation state of Israel? They firmly rejected the two nation deal long before 1948.

But look we can go rounds about this history till the cows come home. and we wont agree on too many points I presume.

That doesnt really help us. The problem now is what next? What is to be done now?

i think there is clear indication that Barak Obama will work toward a solution that jepordizes Isreal. I believe there has to be a 2 state solution and I believe that Palistine will have to move away from its stated position that Isreal must be distroyed.

I think it would be a wonderful world if both parties would agree to a two state solution. However, I doubt they will. Too much blood's been spilled and every day that passes with more blood makes it even more unlikely. If you look at the region it makes absolutely no sense to force the existence of a state that the entire region sees as illegitimate and threatening. Sadly, I don't think that things look good for Israel long term rather it be a Democrat or a Republican in the White House. I think we're going to see us working more with the Palestinians and the Arab world to contain Israel. But forces in the region aren't going to stop until she's gone. If Christ tarries, I believe it's likely that we'll see another large scale invasion of Israel and it will really hit the fan and the global community will be cleaning up the mess for a generation or two.
