If independence means living where they are *told*, doing as they are *told* then Palestinians will not accept this anymore than any people who are coraled into camps. The Jews and the world did not find it acceptable in Germany and the idea of large concentration camps is not a solution today.

Like any people who have been under siege and have suffered physically and emotionally for so long, the Palestianins will need lots of aid to get up-and-running as a productive neighbor. If we think of nation building here, rather than opression or incarceration, then we are making a necessary first step toward ending an environment where kids are willing to sta[ bombs on themselves and become killers.

But, and this is the first time I have said this in my many post on this subject, Isreal is the one that has the most re-thinking to do unless it is willing to just kill every Palestinian.

Like I said, the framework was in place and those who could have supported it and wouldn't were the ones with the greatest firepower and thirst for blood and revenge.
