    @What is Israel's Plan?

    I know some Israelis, and if you knew more than three, you would not be asking that question.

    If you had 12 Israeli's in a room and asked them about Israel's plan, they'd look at you like you wuz crazy, and then they'd proceed to argue with each other and with you, for a long time, and you'd come away with at least 7 different "plans" and at least 3 yelling that there could be no such thing as a plan.

    I think if there is any common plan, it's to try to survive. Most would love to be able to peacefully live side by side with Palestinians both inside Israel and across a peaceful border.
