what is to be dun

I think that a U.N. force would be better, but unlikely. a U.S/NATO force
looks too much like the real colonialist doing the job. we would need to
have an agreement first from Israel to withdraw from the occupied
territories and allow a Palestinian State. such a State would need real
economic development or it would just be a Bantustan. and yes, Israel needs
some guarantees of its security. of course, nun of this is about too happen.
colonialists do not just give up their claims to land and other natural
resources. this case is even worse than South Africa. I am not sure that the
Israelis need Palestinian labor as the white South Africans need cheap
African labor. the real issue here is land and water.
