and free energy, and no poor people and security....

and once again Israel wants to keep control of water in the West Bank

....because the water is cheaper to pump rather then desalinate? perhaps you would like to explain further at what cost israel will retain this water control, or is your statement just some bland, general statement of the israeli govt as some kind of attempt to hint at how evil the israeli govt is?, willing to preserve the occupation for cheaper water

so israel in your mind needs the westbank water because its cheaper and will spend many resources (army) to keep using it.

thats your argument?
what happens when the desalination plants go on line and the water is pumped in to the settlements to preserve the aquifer beneath the WB? your going to have to think of something else then wont you?

yes i noticed the change:
I think in this conversation I have indeed let go I have "let go" of the belief that that Israel has the ability and will to remove settlers and settlements in sufficient quantity to allow for a viable Palestinian state in the West Bank
this is actually an argument that has a point of view that I can understand, not necessary agree with, but at least it has some, in my eyes some merit.

Mubarak is gone and the Egypt has closed the hamas/gaza border...well? does Israel still control that border? Does egypt fear israel will attack if they open the border as per your past declarations?

or is it like every other border in the world....where the two border societies decide for for themselves what their own self interests are and have their policy accordingly

psst...we all know why you wont mention the "unmentionable"....that the gaza/egyptian border is controlled by hamas and egypt and nobody else...and they open and close the border as per their own interests.....and complain to each other and negotiate with each other for the opening and closing.....its ok, though, its pretty obvious at this point, so you can say it out loud.....
