For the Palestiniasn

Submitted by Jonathan Usher (Canada), Mar 3, 2009 at 10:02

If the world really wanted to help the Palestinian people, they would forego the politically correct two state solution and divide what is now a reletively peaceful West Bank between Israel and Jordan. Without Arafat, there is no reason why Jordan should not want to increase both its land and its majority Palestinian population.

Gaza could then be treated as we treated Afghanistan under the Taliban, as a dangerous terrorist state that must be controlled by an outside military force.

The solution is simple, but only if the world's concern is for the Palestinian people, and not for Middle-Eastern oil and politics
