The only gesture to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that I think is appropriate is inappropriate in polite conversation.

Of course there is no peace process and of course we have never seen the enemy fulfill a single obligation under any agreement.

We are marking time. We should practice by blockaging Hamas. Let nothing in to Gaza, not an electron, not a drop of water. When the day comes, drive tham all out of Eretz Yisrael, beginning with Judea and Samaria, and moving on to the Temple Mount.

Maybe. How tough was Bibi when he was PM in the middle 90s? He wasn’t exactly the second coming of Menahem Begin was he?

All “peace process” activity should stop until we see some performance from the Palestinian Authority of what they have agreed to in the past. As for Hamas in Gaza, Israel should cut off Gaza entirely. Send no food, no water, no electricity, no imports through the border or the sea (Israel should blockade the coast). Let the Egyptians provide whatever they want to provide. I see no obligation on Israel’s part to supply people who are determined to destroy Israel and murder all the Jews.

A humanitarian disaster? And the problem is? The Arabs of Gaza voted for Hamas and consented to accept Hamas as the government there. Hamas and the Palestinian Arabs are at war with Israel, by their own declarations and actions. They say they want war and act accordingly. If they want war let them have war.

This reminds me of the Peanuts characters Charlie Brown, and Lucy. Lucy continues to convince Charlie Brown that THIS time she will really really hold the football when he attempts to kick it. Of course, it is her nature to drop the football and poor naive Charlie falls flat on his ass.
The only difference is that this is not a game and Jewish blood will be spilled.

Now if Bibi was invited to play this game, Lucy would be the one on the ground!

Back in the old days, when Israel signed
over the Sinai to Egypt, Anwar Sadat was reputed to have said: ‘Poor Israel, we got the Sinai and all they got was a piece of paper’!

Nothing has changed.

That is almost the saddest line of your post.
