All peace plans have flaws...

In my opinion, the best peace plan would be to expel the Arabs from Israel and its territories. The one problem with this far-right solution, is once the Arabs are gone from Israel, its enemies will have no problem with using weapons of mass destruction - at least they are much more likely to use them.

There is no reason at present to expel Arabs who live peacefully in Israel. I support driving Arabs out of the disputed territories as a response to terrorist attacks. That is, after each terrorist attack destroy a number of Palestinian homes in terrorist havens such as Jenin. Increase the number of buildings destroyed per Israeli death over time, so that if the terror continues it will create significant homelessness. Also those arrested and believed to be involved in terror could be deported. I.e., make the price of practicing and supporting terrorism too high for the Palestinian people on a collective basis (as polls show they collectively support it).

It's important for Israel to find an effective way to protect its citizens, while at the same time demonstrating to the world that it is not racist.

I don’t think that Arabs have any compunction when it comes to killing their fellow beings. As it stands right now Israel is eliminating undesirables, weapons and bomb factories from the territories with some success. The unfortunate thing is that terrorists are like weeds in a garden they keep on coming and coming.

Hamas has already rejected Bushes speech as being biased and issued a statement that its business as usual. There are forces that will try to keep on adding oil to the flames in the ME.

The most anyone can hope for is to minimize the attacks against Israeli citizens eliminating the attacks entirely will be impossible. I think one could easily argue that Israel has been too soft (with cause) on Arafat, the PA and the Islamic Fundamentalist/Extremists in the WB and GS.

It doesn’t seem that Bushes Plan will work as far as I’m concerned and it doesn’t take much imagination to imagine that Arafat is giving him the finger right now.
