I thought "Private" was very good. In fact in some ways I liked it better than "Paradise Now," because "Private" showed more of what ordinary people deal with as opposed to the already well-publicized violent reaction of some.

I sense a little bit of "We want our cake, yours, and all the fixins, as we plan on eating it all anyway".

Of course he wants them to stay. They're easier to kill that way.

Very good Ibrahim. However, when this was proposed in Gaza, the PA balked and then refused to allow any settlers to remain once the Israelis left. Perhaps, considering that we currently have almost a million non-Jewish Arabs in Israel, Fayyad's review would have been a little more appealing had it not included the part about "racist ideology of an ethnically pure nation in Palestine." Saudi, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, most of the Emirates and Gaza may be ethnically pure and do not allow Jews to live there, but Israel is far from ethnically pure.

But here's an interesting question for you folks. If the minority in your country becomes hostile to the point of threatening violence or siding with the enemies of the state, at what point is it okay to take steps and what steps should be allowed?

Jewish settlers should remain in the West Bank. After all, it is historically and religiously significant for Jews.

After a solution, settlers should remain either as Palestinian citizens, as citizens of a confederacy of Israel and Palestine, or as Israelis once Israel annexes the Occupied Territories and declares equal rights for all people regardless of religion.

21% isn't remarkable. After all if there were 9 Jews in Palestine that would be 9 too many.

According to the CIA, there are 2.46 million Palestinians in the West Bank, alone (1.42 million in Gaza). What did you read saying this was overstated?

I read recently how Palestinian claims of being 3.8 millions in the West Bank and Gaza were overstated by 1.5 millions. This leave 2.3 millions minus 1.1 millions in Gaza leaving 1.2 millions in the West Bank which if you compare to the Jewish population in the West Bank of 250,000 what you're suggesting is that it's entirely equitable and reasonable to expel by force or by violence 21% of the population of a country. Just so we're clear - expel by force or by violence 21% of a country.

I saw this movie a few months back- i must say it was very nicely done.
