I have not paid much attention to this board previously, but it is obvious that there are several strong supporters of Israel who post here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
It seems to me that while Israel keeps SAYING that they will ultimately support a "two-state solution," the fact of the hundreds of settlements in the areas that would presumably constitute the "Arab" state make a viable Arab state an impossibility? And their continuing to build new housing in 'Arab' areas - particularly in Jerusalem - is an insult to the parties on the other side of the table, and to the U.S. as well.
Does Israel, as a matter of policy, believe that the rest of the world is too stupid to see what they are doing?
How can anyone negotiate with people who are lying through their teeth?
