David,
But I wouldn’t endorse the extremes of your proposed solution….
One is forced to extremes in policy when cowards who are afraid to assert ownership over what is theirs have the keys to power.
The day that Moshe Dayan destroyed the bridges of the Jordan where thousands of Arabs huddled, seeking to leave Israel in June 1967, the day he forbade the building of a synagogue on the Temple Mount and handed control over it to the Waqf, was the day that the path towards seeking an extreme solution was set.
Cowardice and pulsillanity (sp?) has governed the policies of the State of Israel since then, and this cowardice, as well as the rejection of a miraculous victory in 1967 has brought us to the sad state where a Jew must actually consider genocide as an act of national defense and survival. This is truly tragic.
But, here we are. And we Jews in Israel, if we are to survive, must be willing to cast the terrible die in defiance of the world, knowing that we may not live.
