“I just don’t think anybody cares about palis anymore, not enough to walk the walk.”

There are a lot of people who care, but they’re not given any spotlight in the western media. Israel cannot ethnically cleanse the area, nor even support itself without outside funding and massive military support. Looking at a map of Israel in a vacuum may make it appear otherwise, but it doesn’t give context the geopolitical realities which made its existence possible in the first place.

You talk like I’m an honorable guest…

I just don’t think anybody cares about palis anymore, not enough to walk the walk.
I also believe that all status quo is based on force, and the palis have non to project.

The Rubicon was crossed in 1948, and if not then, then certainly 1962 in Dimona.

Look at the map, there is no Palestine proper, only unconnected patches of territory remain:

Project this trend two-three decades into the future and it’s game over for them, the green will be a mere myth in 100 years.

I’m going to respectfully disagree.

To my mind it means that Israel’s only possible future is wars of expansion and conquest and resource seizure, and I do not think they or anyone else is good enough to pull that one off, win the hand and have everyone else walk away from the table in defeat.

Israel just crossed the Rubicon, now everyone else is forced into making similarly non undo-able choice, not choices they wanted to take.

It’s check mate, but for the palis, they officially lost, it’s best for everyone to admit that, like it or not, and talk terms of surrender.

To quote Rush Limbaughs (American radio host) undeniable truth of life:

“The world is governed by the aggressive use of force and the purpose of war is, and the purpose of armies, is to kill people and break things, that’s how you win! That may offend people, it may scare you, you might even think that it’s nutty and crazy. You are dangerously wrong if you believe that. I don’t care whether you like it or not, whether you want it to be true or not, or you wish it weren’t true. It is true. It has always been true, and it always will be true. It is because of the essence of human nature. Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force and we see it every day. The aggressor always sets the rules in any conflict. It’s not just the use of force that governs the world, it’s the aggressive use of force.”

The great irony is that the pali defeat will be even greater if there’s a backlash! Israel is now in a win win situation if they play it right.
