After decades of waltzing with the Arabs it is time to put an end to peace talks with them. Everyone knows what the violent ones really want (and the violent ones will eventually take over), and that is the right of every sovereign state … the right to have an airport. And that means the arrival of tens of thousands of “volunteers” armed with small weapons. The IDF planes, tanks and artillery will be useless in the street-to-street fighting that will ensue for fear of killing Jews. The inevitable bloodbath will be unacceptable, even though Israel will prevail, and the political situation will be worse. The only way to have a two-state solution is Gaza for the Arabs, and Israel including the entire West Bank for the Jews. A solution no one will even consider now.
