When the notion of Israel allowing the Palestinians the ability to create their "state-within-a-state," I came immediately to the conclusion that the Israeli purpose was to demonstrate to the world that the South Syrian Arabs (there had never been a political or ethnic group of Arabs that could be called "Palestinians," and in fact the Palestine Regiment formed by the British Army in 1942 consisted of three Jewish battalions and only one battalion of Arabs, with only the Jewish troops ever going into combat) were incapable of self-government or peaceful co-existence with their neighbors, thereby providing exemplary justification for permanent warfare against Arab Islamic insurrectionists within the territories from which these violent aggressors would continue to threatent the security of the Israeli people.

 

Since then, the history of the Palestinian Authority and the civil war within the Palestinian "state" has been demonstrative of this supposition.

 

Even the most intransigently, willfully ignorant among the neighboring Arab nations are now being forced to acknowledge that the descendents of the Islamic Arab population resident in the old Ottoman sanjaks of Acre, Jerusalem, Hebron and Nablus are incapable of creating or maintaining anything resembling a viable nation-state.

 

So what's likely to be the final outcome of this process? Egypt and Jordan need the demonstrably ungovernable Palestinian Arabs as much as the Love Canal needs more toxic waste.  Formal division into a cantonal confederation (similar to Switzerland's multilingual, multireligious "agreement to disagree") might prove viable, but the character and culture of the contending Palestinian factions make the proposal of such a sensible solution virtually unimaginable.

The palestinians have refused any diplomatic agreement ever given to them, either through incoherent negotiating tactics, or by using the negotiations as a deceptive tactic to accrue more power. The fact is that the Pale's are the obvious aggressor, but Israel refuses to acknowledge it (due to the Israeli  establishments radical leftism that hates itself, perpetuating Israel's fatuaous born in sin motif) and/or do something about to effectively neutralize the Palestinians fighting capacity!. Thought the Pale's are obciously the aggressor in this conflict , it has come to a point that Israel still partaking in this asenine hand shaking policy refusing to deal w/ reality has some responsibility in this...
