Can we please just get along

You know what? I'll say it.

That's just plain retarded. I think you're just being intentionally provocative.

I just don't believe in a two-state solution.

Jordan should annex East Jerusalem and the West Bank, like they did in 1950.

Egypt should take Gaza back.

Problem solved.

And only two days later...

Israeli proposal: Make Jordan the official Palestinian homeland

Amman, Jordan; and Jerusalem - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior members

of his cabinet have pushed back hard against a renewed US demand to end settlement activity in

the occupied Palestinian territories. Interior Minister Eli Yishai said Sunday that it amounted to "expulsion."

But 53 Israeli parliamentarians have moved to explore another kind of expulsion: Under a proposal

to be reviewed this week, Jordan would become the official homeland for Palestinians now living

in the West Bank.

lol...Jordan does not want them..they had their issues and kicked them out of the country..a stupid statement

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Among the challenges facing the proposal is this: nobody asked Jordan if it would support such a plan.

Not surprisingly, it doesn't.

Yep. That is going to work.

Neither does Israel.

So you think that Israel should just annex the land, and expel all the Arabs?

No. Israel should let Jordan and Egypt annex the land and keep the Arabs.

Brilliant conclussion there.... except for the fact that Jordan and Egypt don't want to do that either.

Are you sure? Wouldn't that be the pre-1967 borders the Palestinians keep asking for?

Well whatever - used to be their territory.

Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip since 1948 until Israel captured it in June 1967 (during the Six-Day War).

Similarly, the West Bank was under Jordanian rule from 1948 until 1967.
