If Israel was smart re Egypt's revolution, it would???

The land wasn't stolen it was rightly reclaimed by Israel. RECLAIMED!
Israel has great reason to be concerned they're in a difficult and dangerous space and time.

There's just nothing anyone can do about stupidity this profound.

Well, a settlement doesn't necessarily have to be based on returning all of the land Israel appropriated during that war. Israel has built extensive settlements such as Modi'in Illit, Maale Adumim and Betar Illit--which are actually full-fledged cities-- inside of that land, and the chances are at about zero that they'd turn over these cities.

Modi'in Illit


A settlement would involve something that both the Israelis and Palestinians agree to. Right now they don't agree to anything, even after the tremendous concessions that the Palestinians have been willing to make as it's been recently revealed, and the Israelis go merrily along appropriating more Palestinian land, all the while discriminating against and oppressing the Palestinians.

The Palestinians' best bet would be to abandon their aspirations for a state of their own and the risable "two-state solution" charade, agree to one state and demand equality within that state.

These myopes, however, see that option--a single, pluralistic and egalitarian state for all of the peoples in Israel/Palestine--and wield it as something of a negative threat!

JTT that's the standard answer from a twit with no concept of the truth of the area.

... prepare for another war.

You do seem to have it correct but I am not sure if Israel has much of a chance now, they should have learned to love their neighbors a long time ago!

I think that things are going to get better for the palestinians in the near future and not so good for Israel.

"Concrete strategic assumptions were liquefied almost overnight" just about says it all.

Israel would not react to the fear mongers. Israel does not need to make any peace or concessions until a sincere Democratic Government is instituted in Egypt and the surrounding Arab world. Not only instituted but proves to be a government which seeks to live peacefully with its neighbors, encouraging trade and prosperity. Israel need not pay heed to the Goons and their screams until they grow up and act like decent Human Beings.

BBB, regarding: "Much of Israel hatred by the Muslim world is the result of Israel's theft of Arab land. "

The Arabs in the Holy Land were rioting against the Jews in the 1920's, based on the land that the Jews bought from the Ottoman Empire. Arabs in the Middle East do not need the 1967 boundaries to hate the Israelies. The Arab armies attacked in 1948, 1957, 1967, 1973 with the express purpose of annihilating Israel. The boundaries of 1967 is just the current "indignation." The original and continuing "indignation" was that the UN said Jews can share the Middle East with Arabs.
