Regurgitating the same old "solutions" of Arabs securing Israel in so many forms is fatuous nonsense.

We had the 1949 armistice. Now that did not hold up too well, due to Arab insistence on ceding the Negev so Egypt and Jordan can team up.

Then we had the Oslo debacle, the introduction of 40,000 "police" that claimed 1500 Jewish lives and who knows how many Arabs.Now we have Gaza under Egyptian control, that is 800 tunnels the Arabs have dug under the "wall" and all the world's war materiel streaming through them.

We know the removal of 8000 Jews from gaza is a national trauma that caused the present crisis. so how about removal of 500000 from the heartland? Its all hooey. The Arabs need to be repatriated to their homeland east of the Jordan just like the Jews of Mesopotamia were repatriated to israel after 2500 years of diaspora. Then we can talk peace with Egypt and Transjordan
