Uzi, thanks for taking the trouble to comment on my blog post; I’m flattered to be read and disagreed with by a writer of your calibre. I wasn’t suggesting, however, that Israel has (or could easily find) a suitable negotiating partner or “partner for peace”. What I am suggesting is that Israel’s destiny is in her own hands; it’s up to Israel – not up to Abbas or Obama – to find a solution, whether negotiated or imposed. I’ll outline what I mean by this in a longer response on my blog.

Very nice — if you're trying to swing a deal with Scandinavians or Canadians. The premise of your argument assumes that Israel's opponents negotiate in good faith and seek historic accommodation with a Jewish state. The secular Peresian messianism of Oslo, the generous offers of Barak answered by the bloody second intifada, the even more generous Olmert offer to Abu Maazen recently rebuffed…Fatah aims to destroy Israel like Hamas. the only difference between them is that Hamas says so explicitly while Fatah says it will never give up a 'right of return' — or for that matter, armed conflict. Sorry, but Jews cant choose their enemies. Israel tried to set some borders with hitnatkut from Gaza, but that hasn't worked out too well either, has it. Maskil, they're not going to cooperate with you.
