Sorry, I meant to say it was on Radio 4 Today Programme. I didn't catch who it was saying it, some expert.

Right, so you don't know who said it but took it as gospel. Just sums it up really.
No I said that I was depressed to hear it.

No, you said:
It's clear that Israel sees its best interests lying in continued conflict
You people are incapable of neutral-stance debate.
Of course, but it's a bit of a stretch from that to
It's clear that Israel sees its best interests lying in continued conflict
lol bit of an overreaction - all I did was repeat an analysis I heard on the radio this morning.
Lol People have been shot for doing less than that. You might need a good lawyer.

Sorry but that is not all you did...you said, I repeat:
scorza said:It's clear that Israel sees its best interests lying in continued conflict
How is that clear? How?!
That's what the analysis was
Obviously you don't accept it but the guy spoke very eloquently and persuasively.

I don't accept that you can go from trying to undermine Abbas to therefore being intent on conflict.
It's not just undermining Abbas though is it, it's promoting Hamas - making them appear strong, getting results - to the Palestinian people.
Perhaps it's a bit of reverse psychology from Israel?
Making them look like the 'loser' in this deal, and making the Palestinians feel like they've gained a victory?

Well it is primarily the undermining of Abbas that's important to them, as the more Hamas gain sympathy the less likely Palestine is to be allowed to join the UN (lol), meaning the less likely Israel is to be hoisted by some retarded UN resolution. But that still doesn't mean they want to fight a conflict forever and ever.

They may not give a toss but it'd certainly make their lives harder, whether they gave a toss or not.
Israel isn't to worried about releasing that many prisoners, as most will be sent to Gaza, which is basically a prison itself. They get their man back with little chance of any real reprisal from the regrouped terrorists in Gaza. Walling off unrestive areas seems to have long term payoffs as well. Mount some robotic sentry guns on the wall and they are complete

I wonder how many Palestinians are held in Israeli jails
I wonder how many Israelis are being held by the Palestinians
