Don't know much about the state of Sri Lankan politics but among all of this analysis, I don't see a solution that Israel could implement that would work as a practical solution.

The truth is that while the Palestinian population would like to have their own state, it would not be in the interests of their leaders to give them one. The leaders don't want a state unless it includes every square foot of Israel. Obviously, Israel will not do that.

If I were the decision maker in Israel I would give them the state just to prove this very point. If this new state did not accept their new statehood and continued their attacks, Israel would be well within their rights to go into a real war instead of having to dance around world opinion while it remains a constant target of nutjobs.

And make no mistake about it, any culture that trains their children to blow themselves up in exchange for the promise of 72 virgins are nutjobs.
