Nice to see an article in Salon about the Arab Israeli conflict that isn't virulently anti-Israel. I hope this is a new trend at Salon for 2009.
The most important point made in the piece is at the end when discussing the effect of Gaza rockets on the potential for Israel relinquishing the West Bank. Evacuation of the West Bank by Israel will never happen until Israelis are convinced that the territory will not be used by Palestinians to attack Israel. Terrorism in the form of rocket attacks from Gaza, often timed for the end of the school day so more children could be killed, has proven that the return to 67' boarders won't bring peace to Israel. Until convinced otherwise, there will never be a Palestinian state.
