Israel is painting itself into an untenable corner, where they become the perpetrators and criminals. Losing one's moral high ground is almost impossible to reverse.

That is why I am so pissed at Obama about torture and war crimes committed in our name.

Our fundies want Israel to seize all of Palestine so Mosque, a certain one, can be destroyed and a church built thus bringing on the Rapture. Nutty as one can get yet fundies on both sides think God wants it that way.

then why shouldn't Israel do the same? That sword cuts both ways.

So annexing the settlement blocks would take that off the table and maybe lead to more realistic Palestinian demands in future negotiations.

It's pointless to negotiate with Israel. The "negotiations" are only for show.

Plus there isn't any thing to negotiate. The Palestinians have nothing to give. Israel already stole most of their land.

International law, morality, and common sense is on the Palestinians' side. Israel has no right to steal the Palestinians' homeland. Only a racist can support Israel's position.

You appear to be blinded by hate and prejudice though. Sad really.
