1)Recently during a discussion about Israel my nationalist Orthodox Israeli friend, who opposes giving up 1 inch of land conceded that most Israelis still support the "peace process". He said they do not really expect it to lead to peace.  His opinion was they just want to get away from the Arabs and will accept any price to do so.  I pointed out that Israel is not big enough to run away from anything.  He said he agreed wtih me but that most Israelis feel that way whether it is rational or not.  While Israelis might oppose withdrawls right now, because the Arabs are being obviously warlike, the most insincere perfunctory call for peace by Arabs, will in my opinion bring Isrraelis back into expulsion/withdrawl mode.  Your opinion?

2) What difference is there, if any, between what Obama has proposed to settle the Arab Israeli conflict and what Ehud Barak proposed at Camp David in 2001.  Didn't both propose 67 lines with swaps?, dividing Jerusalem etc.  In fact didn't Barak propose allowing hundreds of thousands of Arabs into Israel?  Isn't Israel's soft left (Livni, Peres, Barak) just as anti Israel as Obama?

Confederate Kahanist:
Dear Chaim

Can you give me a story of an encounter with a so called conservative Bush bot?

Thanks and god bless.
