Blair buckles
This is rapidly shaping up, after the long Winter of our Discontent, to be the short Summer of our Defeat:
The question is: how do we empower the moderates to defeat the extremists?
First, naturally, we should support, nurture, build strong alliances with all those in the Middle East who are on the modernising path.
Secondly, we need, as President Bush said on Friday, to re-energise the MEPP between Israel and Palestine, and we need to do it in a dramatic and profound manner.
Let me make it clear. I would never put Israel’s security at risk.
Instead I want, what we all now acknowledge we need: a two-state solution. The Palestinian state must be independent, viable but also democratic and not threaten Israel’s safety.
This is what the majority of Israelis and Palestinians want.
No, it isn’t. If the landslide election of a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel to run “Palestine”; the current war fomented by Hezbollah; and ongoing attacks from Gaza — all occurring after Israel ceded yet more territory to the terrorist swine — won’t serve to convince these “land for peace” muttonheads that there simply is no interest among the Palestinians for tolerating Jews on “their” soil, I am at a loss for any suggestion as to what will. Short of a brickbat to the head, I mean.
No, the answer is the same now as it has been for sixty years: a crushing, unequivocal, will-breaking defeat for the genocidal primitives — which will never be achieved until a heavy price is exacted from Syria and Iran for their long and ruinous ride on the Paleo stalking horse and their barely-clandestine support for this incessant strife concomitantly dried up. Allah says it:
There’ll always be a pretext. Once the Palestinians get their state, the new pretext will be that it’s not contiguous. Once they get a contiguous state, the pretext will be that they don’t have the right of return, and so forth. And all along, savages like Nasrallah will be firing missiles and planning bus bombings in the hopes of luring Israel into another Qana-esque propaganda coup they can use to incite a new round of jihad — a point which Blair, to his credit, acknowledges in the present context but then somehow forgets during his fantasia about peaceful coexistence.
But then, a lot of smart people have gone stupid over that subject.
Indeed they have. Looks like we can add one more to that unfortunate list.

That is the only solution that will guarantee peace and stability.
And, by the way, IIRC, the Abdullah Plan was rejected by the Palestinians who are focused on a "one-state" solution.
(Which, in this context, is also a creepy phrase.)
How about we just bring back the Knights Templar?
In all seriousness, the plan Arafat rejected gave them about 90 percent of what they asked for. In a negotiated peace, neither side ever gets everything. But that isn't what Arafat wanted. He wanted an unconditional victory and was willing to throw away the chance at peace for the slimmer chance of that.
