Israel's ruling party rejects Palestinian State.

You reap what you sow. Politics as usual.

Not a smart move by the Likud Party. That does nothing but inflame the situation.

Did you read the article?

Czar, Netanyahu backed the resolution

From the article:

After a raucous central committee meeting, Likud Party members voted overwhelmingly to reject the creation of a Palestinian state, despite Sharon?s stance that such a vote would tie his hands in future peace negotiations.

and then

Only a handful of delegates voted against the Netanyahu-backed resolution, which read, ?No Palestinian state will be created west of the Jordan (River),? referring to the area including the West Bank, Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Opposition to a Palestinian state has been the traditional position of the Likud, but Sharon has said that under stringent conditions, he would agree to creation of such a state, at one point calling it ?inevitable.?

indeed. Though I think the US can make them accept a deal even if they don't want to. No country would want to lose 3B in funds a year....

Ok, all we need now is a "You can't negotiate with terrorists" post.

 

[gunf1ghter]

I'm pretty sure Israel already realizes that the attacks will continue regardless of how many demands they give in to.

yes but this way they can show the peaceniks how wrong they are. then again, i'm sure they'll just come up with some other lame arguments.

Might be nice...but I'm sure Israel has criteria to gauge what actions they should take which are more important than how well those actions help me in a debate with random hippies

haha probably true. i guess i just don't see what they have to lose. they can always just take it back if they want to, right?
