[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel pulled all the settlements and Jews out of Gaza and got only rockets, bombs, tunnels, and violence in return. What is the benefit of doing the same in the West Bank?[/quote]

A fact that can be conveniently forgotten, apparently.[/quote]

The facts that were conveniently forgotten were the Israeli policies towards the residents of Gaza that provoked the violence. Israel's border restrictions and control of the sea crippled the economy. Moreover, Israeli continuing attacked targets within Gaza. Israel turned Gaza into the world's largest prison and then was shocked (not really, it was by design), that violence resulted.

As somebody who follows the ME, you likely know that the mindset of every ME country is "all or nothing". In other words, if you don't get everything, hen you have nothing. The fact is, in the ME, if you compromise you are seen as weak. Israel compromised as much as they felt the could on Gaza for nothing in return, and they got absolutely nothing in return. And let's not Forget why Israel has these territories in the first place...how many times where they invaded? [/quote]
