    IF the Israelis could annex the West Bank WITHOUT displacing three million Palestinians AND improve their quality of life WITH an increase in property rights, rule of law, liberty, etc. THEN it would be a long term improvement IMO.

    The rule of 'you can't go back,' applies I'm sure. Yet, it seems there should be Muslims that would be happy to be able to own land, pay taxes, have representation, but be under Israeli rule and protection.

    The problem is Pali militants who are better armed that Pali security forces are taking over parts of Jennin. where/whatever that is. Part of the West Bank. The UN people have just thrown up their hands and cried to HQ. The same people doing nothing if Israel involves itself with its iron fisted policies.

    I'm okay with Israel defending itself. No so much its expansionist talk as of late.
