(6,893 posts)Leave the WB or be prepared to become citizens of Palestine after Israel evacuates the WB (with the exception of the old city of Jerusalem).

Israeli
(4,300 posts)......its too late and they have much more power and prestige now than when Arik evacuated them

Lets not forget what happened to Rabin
Your dreams and mine aside .....there is much worse than Bibi standing in the wings waiting to take over .
