(90,061 posts)I don't have a position, that's to be negotiated. The closest thing I have to a "position" is reflected in my posts in this thread. I think things are not going well. and they will continue to not go well until the Palestinians get to run their own affairs politically. The notion that they have to shape up first, and then somebody will "give" them their rights, is a recipe for eternal conflict. As long as Israeli soldiers are running around in Palestinian territories, there is going to be what there is already. What you have now is what you get with the current policies. So my position then, I suppose, is that what the GOI is doing now produces the results that you have now, which are bad, as we discuss so frequently here. I will be willing to assign more responsibility to the Palestinians when they have more control of their own affairs.
