No one believes in any of them, or if they do, it is with the tiniest slice of hope. There is a lack of faith in the leadership.

On the other hand, the world screams at whatever Israel does, so there really is no downside there. Israel needs to worry about the reaction of the USA and nobody else. One thing that might help is that when the Palis go too far Israel moves into Gaza and simply pushes all the Palis there out. Go to Egypt, go to Jordan, go whereever your "Arab Brothers" will take you in, but go. They can cite the precedent of the Sudenten Germans, who got their wish to "go home to the Reich" in 1945 in a fashion they had not expected. When you come down to it that is the best the Israelis can expect from the Palis if the latter ever get the upper hand; expulsion (once again for many of Israel's Jews). More likely of course, if the Palis or the other Arabs ever get the upper hand, is genocide. Once done Israel should say to the Palis in Judea and Samaria "Shape up or you are next." There is nothing Israel can do to bring peace. Every concession has been treated by the Arabs as a position for renewed war. If the rest of the world was actually interested in peace between Israel and the Palis (and other Arabs) there would be tremendous pressure from all interested states on the Arabs to stop trying to destroy Israel and kill the Jews. Since there is no such pressure (except from the US sometimes) I conclude that most countries of the world are copacetic with the genocide the Palis, other Arabs, and Iranians plan.
