Argus, your personal bias is so apparent that it's painful to read your posts on Israel. Israel is becoming increasingly unpopular because their own conduct over the last couple decades has become increasingly unethical. That fact will stand no matter how many pages of irrational text you post. There was a time when Israel, with a great deal of help, toe'd the line against several countries simultaneously and the free world sided with them. That was when they fought for their existence. That time is long gone. Foreign aid over the years has placed Israel firmly at the top of the food chain. They could remove all traces of the adjacent countries like a giant eraser and, would do so, were it not for world opinion and a potential military backlash from entities which are not so easily bullied. The issue of "right to exist" now belongs to Palestine.
Israel's evolution has exceeded it's physical and moral boundaries. They're approaching 7 million people on a speck of land smaller than New Jersey. They have one of the highest population densities in the world. They need land bad. Real bad. Palestine needs a national unity and a physical boundary. Israel won't let them have it. It's much easier from a political standpoint to inhabit land that remains in question, than the land of an established nation. Almost 400,000 Israeli settlers in the west bank and gaza strip will tell you so.
I will eat my shorts if Israel withdraws its troops and allows an international force to keep the peace such that it doesn't come out of this with more land.
.........say.....doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a military buffer zone...if your civilians move to, and build on, the "buffer zone" (lol)
