(e.g. Write in ALL CAPS) Also, Israel <em>is</em> partitioned -- just not officially. The Israeli built wall (Note to Bush: a great idea for USA borders as well!) and extensive security net around Gaza and the West Bank all ready does partition the tiny nation. Unless Israel is willing to perform "ethnic cleansing" on a massive scale, this partition will be around for the foreseeable future whether as an internationally recognized border or not. Until the hand of G-d reaches down from heaven, a distinct possibility in the Holy Land, this may be the best that mere mortals, such as ourselves, can hope to achieve. Therefore, Condi is not pushing anybody, as you say. She is just trying to formalize the facts on the ground in a way that minimizes the chance of future warfare and nuclear destruction. And you can be certain that the Israelis are good negotiators and not very easy to push, even for Condi. Marcia,

CONDI IS WRONG, ETERNALLY WRONG IS PUSHING ISRAEL TO GIVE LAND TO THE PALESTINE PEOPLE. NO LAND FOR “PEACE’. ISRAELI FOES DON’T WANT PEACE, THEY WANT THE JEWS DESTROYED COMPLETELY.
