I shall visit my psychiatrist post-haste, but you haven't answered MY question yet.

I only know that the more settlements there are, the harder it will be to negotiate them away. Sorta like closing down long running government programs, here. It behooves, my opinion, the Palestinians to begin negotiations without preconditions...the sooner the better.

And, yes, Sorcha 'money talks' is the answer to every question for the Left (or the left, if you prefer).
