I really, but really, do not understand why people can't differentiate between a peace treaty like jordan-israel/egypt-israel and a unilateral step. this is the type of hasbara that people do, a college senior?

Is this piece a joke? Because our building in Jerusalem, which we claim as our own and repeatedly insist will never be divided, is attacked constantly. We annexed the Golan and no one accepts that. You can be sure that once Assad falls we will be told to offer it up in negotiations.

A case for annexation can be made, but reducing or eliminating global criticism isn't part of it.

They and their Arab allies also use their holy sources to say that Jews are basically a mutation and do not deserve their own land. We must use the facts of the day. I am not saying the Torah and all other Jewish texts are outdated, but it would take the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a new level if we use these sources.

http://www.iris.org.il/sizemaps/arabwrld.htm
We never hear God's perspective as He is always left out of His personal business, Israel by the same bumbling secular failures who returned the Temple mount to the enemy assuming goodwill would be forthcoming.
The same tried and failed formula continues with the same secular fools in Jerusalem who follow everyone and everything but God and have proven incapable of learning.

Back in 67' what if Israel had been looking to and listening to God and understood that it was He who delivered Judea and Samaria and His Temple Mount into the hands of his people, led and STRONGLY motivated by faith TO SERVE HIM, immediately annexed all of the ancient homeland and driven the 'snares' out?
Israel's kindness to the cruel is a national form of suicide which will eventually run it's devastating course.

Exodus 23:27-33
"You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
