Speaking at a high profile security conference today, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak suggested that Israel is growing impatient with the lack of progress in peace talks with the Palestinians, virtually stalled since September 2010, and suggested that there was consideration for a “unilateral action.”
Since Israel has failed with past efforts, it is difficult to see how the nation could impose a peace settlement on the Palestinians, especially since the current far-right Israeli government is reluctant to make even trivial concessions.
Palestinian Authority officials rejected the idea, saying that an imposed deal would be impossible, since it would presumably not include Occupied East Jerusalem, the intended capital city of independent Palestine.
While the move is presented as “Gaza-like,” it would actually be considerably worse, since Israel actually did withdraw from the Gaza Strip (though keeping it walled in and blockaded), and clearly doesn’t intend to withdraw from the West Bank, but only to declare the Palestinian issue “solved” by drawing a tiny, powerless, and likely non-contiguous statelet inside its own borders.
Israel's threat of unilateral action with respect to Palestinian "peace" deal should be watched closely. One can almost see the cattle cars lined up already.

Easy: Since the standard formula of putting everyone above 18 in jail has not worked so far, neither in Israel nor Iraq and Afghanistan where the US tried it, the only remaining option is CASTRATION!
Here's the recipe for peace (US/Israeli style):
– Capture/record every male above 18
– Castrate every male above 18 and above
– Wait 50 years and build new houses on the now empty land
– Enjoy
– OOOps .. forgot the backlash:
-See your society become your worst nightmare
-Random shootings by ex-soldiers
-Government surveillance and wanton killing of own citizens
-A huge chunk of population with PTSD (i.e. a time bomb)
-Most importantly: The moral values of your society in the gutter
So, congratulation on "the solution"and "winning" all those nasty wars .. enjoy the fruits …
First it was some one named Balfour who defined what and where a 'Jewish" state be created. Then along came the UN and declared and implemented the creation of TWO states a Jewish one and an Arab one [named Palestine] some 60 plus years ago.
Now its one of the created states' Israeli politician who is defining what the UN created as a Palestinian should should finally look like. No uber allrs here!
Shame on Israel!!!!
You gotta laugh. Isreal is growing impatient because they talks are stalling and they are the ones stalling. Gotta love them psychopaths! This must mean that the theft of Palestinian land must be near completion.
Its way past time that the western world admitted it's support for Israel and zionism is support for racism , land theft and war criminals.
