Pundits both right and left have been screaming bloody murder, arguing that unless we take
drastic action soon (negotiations and the establishment of a Palestinian state, transfer), the
Jews will be a minority west of the Jordan and a unitary state of Palestine will be erected, with
predictable results for the Jews.
I would like to ask these folks a number of questions:
1) If the Palestinians really have such a winning card, why should they bother negotiating
with us at all? Why ask only for the '67 borders when they can have it all in a little while?
2) The Palestinians and their supporters have been crying about the "occupation" for
the longest time, and it has taken them decades to get anywhere with it.
Is it conceivable that they will be able to shift gears and suddenly argue for the "South
African" model after arguing the opposite for so long?
3) Heck, why haven't they demanded the right to vote now? Given the fractousness of
Israeli politics, they would be a controling bloc for any government.
Any answers?
