I don't believe that the majority of Israelis wish to remove all Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, though I don't know for certain. The largest steps that need to be taken are for Israel to remove its settlements and make a definite commitment to Palestinian independence. Unfortunately, it would take a Prime Minister of extroardinary charisma and commitment to get the Knesset to go along with this, and the last time one came along, he was shot. I don't think that Arafat has been as cooperative as you say he has; he seems to care more about his power and ideology than helping his people (the same is true of Sharon). You say that Israel keeps digging itself into a hole, which may be true; I don't see that they have much of a choice in some of their security measures, though. What do you think they ought to do to prevent suicide bombings, if not go after the terrorists?
