Everything you mentioned is negated by history. The West Bank is not occupied territory, it's conquered. The Arabs made a terrible choice and must live with the consequences.
In all candor
@edpc ... this has become a real-life version of "Groundhog Day".
Picking up where your post left off, the next scene in this drama is: "Will Israel annex the conquered territory and give full and equal citizenship to the indigenous people on these conquered lands ... or will it create a sub-Israeli citizen"??
And then we move swiftly into the history of why the Jewish people deserve their own Jewish state that cannot be compromised or diluted. This will be followed by whispers of apartheid and calls for boycotts of Israeli goods.
Which will bring us to the two state solution .... which cannot happen because the Palestinians teach their children to hate Jews and Israel will never give up Jerusalem.
And we're back to annexing the conquered territories .....
I support the President's philosophy on this: "One and done". Israel is no longer a start up nation in need of our protection. Israel is fully capable of running its own affairs. If the President feels compelled to give a peace agreement one more shot ... do it.
But after this, it's enough. We've done all we can do.
