Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Luckily, genocide or transfer is luckily out of the question.
There is no way to move 3M plus people from their homes without the world watching.

More important, this idea is revulsive to the great majority of israelis. Think that the movement advocating transfer is mostly banned.. and those politicians bordering the line would get no more than 10% of the vote... Just like trhowing the Jews to the Mediterranean does not occur to more than 10% of the Palestinians.

A pleasure

Nice blending of repulsive and revolting.

Qué revulsivo más ostentóreo.

Well, Sharon himself brought up this version again before he was first elected PM, tough as discussed earlier, I agree that he may have long abadoned this as realistic option. (BTW, according to Uri Avnery, when Sharon ignored his orders during the invasion of Lebanon, his original plan was to chase Arafat all the way to Amman, with Jordan turning Palestine as a result, an idea he must have hatched during Black September - so he didn't "misspoke".)
