الحكومة الاسرائيلية تضيف 20 مستوطنة في الضفة الغربية لخطة مساعدات

there is no reason why the state of palestine (whatever, whenever) should have no jewish residents. the jewish residents of the west-bank could become citizens of the new palestinian state. if you think its not acceptable, are you supporting the deportation of israels' arab/muslim populace?

"Israel's fault Hamas went rogue" - israel is to blame for hamas throwing its political opponents from rooftops? funny man. 'went rogue' - as compared to its previous 'unrogue' status? :)

lets be honest here, the 'palestinians' had over 60 years to create a state. in the first 20 years (1948-1967) there was no israeli occupation nor settlements.. yet they couldn't be bothered creating a state. the 'palestinians' have proven they are either incapable of or uninterested in creating an independent state.

Good point you raise there with the last one. I'm not quite sure as to why they failed(?) to create a state during that time, though I'm willing to guess it had something to do with colonial powers preventing such a thing from happening as they assessed the value of jewish politicization(which of course of their right(the jews' that is)).

Hamas was docile when it was under the wing of the brotherhood. They created healthcare facilities, libraries, schools and so on. It was zionist pestilence that made them resort to forming a resistance long before the they were branded terrorists.

I don't quite know where you got all that from, quite a weird jumble of thoughts you have there. What I said was that concessions of land are to be agreed upon by the public. This was stated by I think Livni.

What would happen if Israelis vote in favor of not returning lands, or not returning most of the lands, or something to that effect, seeing as how many Israelis loath Palestinians and many polls and conducted surveys show that the Israeli population is unwilling to get involved in peace talks and that they are particularly animus of the idea of returning lands. How can Israel rationalize their refusal to hand over confiscated land? Would they lay fault on democracy?

"How can Israel rationalize their refusal" - lets clarify first that you're talking hypotheticals. so far it was the palestinians who refused all offers, and i'm not sure what their excuse was.

in much the same way you dont need to rationalise why you dont want to give your left arm to your neighbour, israel needs no rationalisation for trying to maintain its sovereignty and security in light of past experiences. you dont need anyones' approval or legitimacy for your existence, nor does israel.

"it had something to do with colonial power" - seems like its always someone else's fault. assuming you're right - if egypt and jordan are responsible for the lack of palestinian state (having occupied it in 1948), why should israel be the one to pay the price?

israel gave citizenship to all refugees within its territory (jews & arabs), the arabs kept them in a political prison. if the palestinians want compensation, they should ask the 7 nations that attacked them in 1948.
