(12,283 posts)the leadership of intifada I was wiped out by arafat......it had nothing to do with the IDF or the occupation, so your attempt at blaming the IDF for what arafat did makes no sense.....except that you have to blame israel for something that was entirely an Palestinian affair.
you seem to have trouble with the concept of limited options. Limited options, like limited resources means we have to make choices. Whereas neither choice maybe our best choice our ideal choice, never the less we have to make them. This is what the I/P conflict is all about, and what your have a very very very difficult time understanding.
When israel left gaza there was what we call limited choices..either the corrupt PA or the religious hamas. For those advocating israel leave the west bank, those two choices have not changed.....infact the west bank has the same make up that was in the west bank before israel left gaza. So the choices for what your advocating is the same.
do you think its wise to start a series of events that may end with hamas controlling the west bank?....dont forget it happened in gaza....do you even care? is it even relevant (or can you read the future with 100% accuracy?)

i'm impressed:
Had the IDF and the settlers left in, say 1989, that's what Hamas would still be today. your ability to read the past and understand events that might or might not have happened is fantastic...and you can read the future as well from what i understand...I'm very impressed with your abilities btw
