Their best defence

Israel has no choice but to withdraw from the West Bank - not to
indulge the Palestinians but to save itself

When someone says that today the chances for Middle East peace have
improved, it is worth asking two questions: can there be a sustainable
truce, as long as Israel maintains a significant presence in the West
Bank? And do the Israelis seem remotely interested in giving this up?
If your answer to both is negative, then you share my view that we
should not be deceived into optimism by a pitstop in mutual
vilification between Ariel Sharon and the Palestinian Authority.
