I was reading an article about President Bush in Israel and the fact that rockets were fired from Gaza when he was there. Then I read a part in the article that said Abbas is governing the West Bank, and Gaza is it's own entity. Then I thought, well what if Israel worked with the West Bank and Abbas, made conditions there so much better that those in Gaza would either recognize it and make peace or those in the West Bank would speak up, do things against those in Gaza to preserve what they have.
It seems there is already a split, and it's not so much a divide and conquer mentality but rather Divide and reform one half so that the other recognizes what they could achieve.
Perhaps it's an outlandish theory, but has anything like that ever really been attempted? All I read is Israel is taking an all or nothing position, and granted I'm not there gettin a rocket fired at me. But does it not make sense to perhaps attempt this?
