The clear dividing line between the Left and the Right in Israel used to be over the principle of land for peace. Now Israel has been forced into «pragmatism» on Palestinian state.
«Now, as Benjamin Netanyahu made clear in his speech on Sunday night, there is no mainstream political party that fundamentally rejects giving up part of the West Bank to the Palestinians».
«The only difference between a right-wing and a left-wing prime minister now, is how this concession is framed».
«While the Left talk about the justice of establishing a Palestinian state, Netanyahu believes in the fundamental right of the Jewish people to all of the land. But pragmatically he accepts that this right cannot be implemented because of some 2 million Palestinians in the West Bank whom Israel does not wish to incorporate as citizens».

My comment:
What kind of peace has there been in Sderot after Israel gave up the land of Gaza for «peace»?
The Islamic «land-for-peace» rhetoric does make sense only when you admit that its the full land of Israel that has to be given up as a part of a «peace deal».
The PLO-leader Yasser Arafat lied from he got up in the morning till he went to bed in the evening in regards to his motives for killing Jews.
A Muslim is permitted to both lie and kill, as long as he does so to gain something for Allah. Arafat had swore an oath to Allah, that he will never lay down his firearms, before the whole of «Palestine» is back in the hands of Islam.
Hamas does not even lie. They say point-blank that the Jewish state of Israel shall one day be destroyed.
