I think Ibish, advertently and/or inadvertently, has made clear the need to begin delineating in which ways
Israelis will benefit from a unified homeland, rather than a fragmented two-state aolution. John Kutab has already very artfully beun this process via his article, "Steps to create an Israel-Palestine", in the December 20, 2009 Angeles Times. I intend to expand on what he has started, and perhaps we can start a bandwagon that will also describe benefits for Palestinians and other local folks,the region, and the world at large.

It happened while the Fedayeen and Hamas watched to.

Capturing soldiers is an act of war. Nothing wrong with it? But wasn't your kind who complained so heavily about the ensuing war, caused by Hezbollah's action? And wasn't it your types who couldn't understand why Lebanon's legitimate military did not enter the war against Israel? The principal parties were Hezbollah paramilitary forces and the Israeli military. The conflict began when Hezbollah militants fired rockets at Israeli border towns as a diversion for an anti-tank missile attack on two armored Humvees patrolling the Israeli side of the border fence. Clashes spread to Lebanon as Hezbollah raids Israel - Africa & Middle East - International Herald Tribune Of the seven Israeli soldiers in the two jeeps, two were wounded, five were killed, and the bodies of two of the dead were taken to Lebanon. On 11 August 2006, the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved UN Resolution 1701 in an effort to end the hostilities. The resolution, which was approved by both Lebanese and Israeli governments the following days, called for disarmament of Hezbollah, for withdrawal of Israel from Lebanon, and for the deployment of Lebanese soldiers and an enlarged United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) force in southern Lebanon. The UN Mideast Ceasefire Resolution Paragraph-by-Paragraph In the time since the enactment of UNSCR 1701 both the Lebanese government and UNIFIL have stated that they will not disarm Hezbollah. Who Will Disarm Hezbollah? read and learn, my ignorant little friend no one seems eager to disarm Hezbollah

Well Hamas won some elections, but then they took over all of Gaza by force... Gaza: Armed Palestinian Groups Commit Grave Crimes | Human Rights in the Gaza Strip, armed Palestinian groups have committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, in some cases amounting to war crimes, Human Rights Watch said nobody voted for that!

Hamas won, and it counted. And they got all the benefits and consequences that came along with Hamas.

Things would've gone much better for everyone if Hamas had recognized Israel as a nation and renounced violence. But they didn't. So the Palestinians enjoyed the benefits of that too.

I was referring to the democratic elections in Palestine where Hamas won. But I guess those don't count since your guys didn't win.

Hezbollah behaved like an autocracy – there was no consideration for the Lebanese government of which it was a member.

They seek suppression of the opposition through terror , and a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism (and Islamism). They used Lebanon for for their own interest as they defined it. They initiated a war that Lebanon didn't want.

"A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." [Robert O. Paxton, "The Anatomy of Fascism," 2004]
