Herer's another viewpoint....
The Israeli's consider this "War" against the Palestinians. Yet when the soldier was captured, the Israelis and far-right factions of the press referred to his capture as "kidnapping" and illegal.
Independent Palestinian state? Israel says no. Why? Who knows.
Single state with full citizenship rights for Palestinians? Israel says no. Why? Who knows, though many posit that allowing potential Palistinian-Israelis to vote might actually get them some representation.
So, Palestinians continue to be held prisoner in their own land. Israel allows and perpetuates the corruption that may exist in Gaza because it preserves their interest which is to maintain the status quo.
For years, Arafat was gserved up by Israel as the roadblock, i.e., "No partner in Peace." That myth died last year.
Make no mistake. Israel holds all the cards here.
