Hamas has offered a 10-year "truce" if Israel gives up land? What happens after? Another 10-year "truce" for giving up more land? Should ANY country have to sign itself out of existence?

If Israel gives up the land beyond the 1967 borders, which it continually asserts it does not want to annex, it will have a 10 year window to demonstrate to the Palestinian people that it can live peacefully with arab neighbors. I am willing to bet that the majority of Palestinians will come to accept it and lose the desire for violence. The alternative is to not agree and continue with the status quo for the next several hundred years or until the US wises up and stops funding this folly. Also it then puts the ball squarely back in the Hamas court where they have said they would agree if the people vote for it and after a 10 year truce the majority would vote for it.

I don't really think that there will ever be peace in Israel and the nations that surround it.  The problem is not the amount of land that Israel has in its possession, it is really that Israel is there in the first place.  There is not a single country in the non-Israeli middle east that cares a bit for Israel and many would just as soon see Israel wiped off the face of the earth. 

 

I think that if Israel gives up this land, their neighbors will just continually ask for more and more until Israel has nothing at all.  I think that they need to hold to their policies. 

I think that they need to hold to their policies.

The problem with that is the fact that their policies are untenable. It involves policing the west bank and gaza which means maintaining the checkpoints and all the other trappings of occupation which go with it. I think a better approach is for the state to officially annex the west bank as long as they make all the residents citizens. The bulk of the people really don't care what the country is called as long as they can live there free of second class citizenship. They want to be able to earn a living, provide for there families, have access to education, and be able to give a better life to their children. As it is now none of that is possible.
