If Mahmmoud Abbas the leader of the Arab PA really and genuinely proceeded to make peace with Israel, it will not happen.

Peace does not depend on Mahmmoud Abbas because we are not dealing with an "Arab/Palestinian-Israeli" conflict — not that he represents all, or even most, of the "Arab/Palestinians" anyway.

There is reason why Mahmmoud Abbas has prevented elections for the past five years since his term officially expired.

This is not only an "Arab/Palestinian-Israeli" conflict; it is not even an "Arab-Israeli" conflict, as it used to be called. Israel's deadliest enemy is The Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Iranians are not even Arabs, let alone, "Arab/Palestinians". Why do they want to annihilate Israel? The answer is that the sacred doctrines of Islam, as found in the Koran and the sayings of Muhammad, require Muslims to make war against the Jews and either subjugate them to Islam rule, or to kill them. Just like the Arabs did in Medina about 1500 years ago and other Arab countries, including in the Land of Israel during Arab/Muslim occupation. The Hamas Charter makes this perfectly clear. Therefore, we are not dealing with a territorial conflict which can be resolved by drawing new lines on old maps. The "rebuilt Jewish communities and the new Jewish communities" have nothing to do with the conflict which started long before there were any new Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and would continue even if the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria disappeared tomorrow. The only way to understand the conflict is to recognize that we are dealing with an Islamic holy war (jihad) against the Jews (and against anyone who is not Muslim). Not only Mahmmoud Abbas and his associates, but the entire Muslim world refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist because their religion prohibits such recognition. This is the root of the conflict!

An Arab recognition of Israel on a peace a paper has no meaning; they violate it and ignore it. Their religion permits them to lie and deceive anyone in order to accomplish their Islamic goal.

Israel vacated Gaza in 2005 against substantial opposition by a large part of the people in Israel and elsewhere. The result is not a hard working entity trying to build an economy and improving the lives of their people, but a radical terrorist entity that subjugates its people to a terrorist regime and puts its people in mortal danger by sending thousands of rockets into Israel, forcing Israel to defend its people and respond to attacks. No matter what appeasement or concessions Israel would give, it would not bring about peace or even the cessation of hostilities.

In view of the catastrophic results in Gaza after Israel provided them with the opportunity to establish a self rule, and the resulting, tunnels, terrorist’s attacks, kidnapping and thousands of rockets launched against Israel.

No sane nation or government or people in the world would contemplate repeating the same mistake and conceding to place another terrorist entity in Judea and Samaria. That would be a national suicide by Israel and a dereliction of duty by the government of Israel.

Moreover, the current conditions in Judea and Samaria in Arab PA controlled territory is a major source of terror or violence which compromises Israel’s safety and security.

Since The Oslo Accord – (This is now null and void). Over 300,000 new Arabs have come into Judea and Samaria.

The option for Israel today after over 65 years of trying to find a genuine partner for peace and not only failing and making the situation worse, with suicide bombing, kidnapping, car ramming, stabbing, babies throat slashed, stone throwing, butchering Israelis who accidentally venture into Arab PA administered territory. Thus, it is putting our/your nation and the people of Israel in greater danger, reduced safety and security.

It is time to seriously implement other avenues to secure the safety and security of the people in The Land of Israel.

Israel must stand its ground. All the territory west of the Jordan River must be under Israel’s sovereignty. Under international law, treaties and agreements it is Israel’s territory. No misleading propaganda, deceptions, subterfuge and twisted unsubstantiated legal maneuvers will suffice.

Any Arab who is willing to abide by the rule of law of the State of Israel and is not a terrorist or criminal may stay, otherwise must leave Judea and Samaria completely.

Those Arabs or non-Israelis who wish to leave or must leave can relocate to Jordan, Gaza or to the homes and the over 120,000 sq. km. of land the Arabs confiscated from the million Jewish families they terrorized and expelled from their countries and most of them were resettled in The Land of Israel.
