Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Many commentators have said that if we only retreat all
the way to the Green Line, with no exceptions, then peace
will come to the Middle East and everything will be hunky
dory.
I will only tackle one aspect of this fallacious assumption -
the subconcious belief that there's nothing beyond the Green
Line except settlements deep in Palestinian territory.
As a public service, I will therefore make a short list of some
of the places that are beyond the Green Line:
1) A section of Road No. 1 (Jerusalem-Tel-Aviv Road) in the
Latrun area.
2) Road 443 to Jerusalem.
3) Gilo, French Hill, the entire Old City etc etc.
4) Gush Etzion, Modi'in
Think about this the next time you delude yourself that
the '49 borders are miles away from Israel.
