I agree with other commenters, Ms. Bryen recited an excellent summary of why the peace process could never succeed.
However, when it comes to what to do, I think you are still a captive of peace process thinking. Is it really in the long term, a wise thing to invest and build the Palestinian economy in the West Bank? For what purpose? So that they will eventually accomodate and make peace with Israel when you just recited exactly why that will never happen. You still accept the fallacy that economic prosperity diminishes the desire to make war. It is a fallacy of wishful thinking. It is the wealthiest nations in the world who have launched the most devastating wars in human history. Nazi and Kaiser Germany, Napoleonic France, Imperial Japan were all far wealthier than their neighbors when they embarked on wars of aggression against their poorer neighbors. The West Bank Arabs should be ignored and allowed to bring their economy down to the level it would really be if there wasn’t billions of annual aid provided to them every year.
