And I want the various terrorist networks who ply their trades on behalf of 'Palestinians' to stop what they are doing.

Well, you'd better start applying pressure to the government of Israel to end the occupation, and the governments of the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK to put pressure on the government of Israel to end the occupation, or that will never happen.

Human Beings don't submit willingly to total subjugation and bondage. That is a fact of life that will never change, no matter how many nuclear weapons are involved.

As to intellectual dishonesty, clarify something: What would you envision as a 'just' settlement for the mid-East so that Israel remains as a Jewish homeland and the Palestinians also have a viable homeland?

Israel retreats to the Green Line, recognises the legitimate grievances of the Palestinians, allows a *nominal* right of return... this means allowing a small token number of elderly Palestinians to return to Israel (so they can die in the land they consider home, as a conciliatory gesture and as a recognition of their legitimate grievances), and leaves the Palestinians alone to get on with the process of building their country. Holy sites in Jerusalem should be protected by the international community. The majority of Palestinians will agree to these things, and once they have them, they will fight against anyone within their society who would try to endanger them by harming Israel or Israelis.
