Is there anyone who really thinks that Israel will stop building and expanding on the West Bank? I don't believe that the Israeli government will stop stealing Palestinian land so long as there remains one square inch on which to plant its boots.
What I do believe is that there will be new negotiations between Israel and the US. Since AIPAC and their fellow travelers will never stand for cutting off funds as a deterrent (Obama will not stand up to this voter block), I suspect we will go for the carrot instead. You stop "settling" and we'll give you more money. And they will agree, the money will flow, and Israel will keep on building away. Oh wait! That's no prediction -- that's history!
