Israelis would mostly breathe a sigh of relief if Palestinians were to disappear.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even the pyramids might one day disappear, but not the Palestinians longing for their homeland.
The Israelis would like to live in peace within their borders; the Arabs would like to kill them all.
All Israel wants to do is survive.
If Israel does not find the way to disengage from the Palestinians, its future might resemble the experience of Belfast or Bosnia - two communities bleeding each other to death for generations.
It is high time that the Palestinian people restore their freedom and independence. It is high time that the decades, the long decades of suffering and pain would stop.
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse. The region would end up with something much worse.
I think it is essential for Israel's survival as a Jewish and democratic state that we end the status quo. The preferred way to end the status quo would be on the basis of a two-state solution. We don't want the Palestinians to be citizens of Israel, nor do we want them to be subjects.
We want the Israelis to leave. They want to leave - so let us let them leave.
In Israel we tend to be carried away by our emotions.
