RRD:Arguing over whether Obama wants land swaps misses the point.Obama's whole premise;that peace can be achieved with Hamas,is insane.It is as if one was focused on the details of the Munich Agreement,while ignoring the fact that the Nazis would violate the agreement.So long as Hamas exists peace is impossible.The only question is not "should there be peace","or how to go about achieving peace",it is:how many Israelis(and Palestinian children turned into human bombs) should die in pursuit of a delusion.The only way peace can be achieved is if the Palestinians throw off Hamas,(which the majority put into office to begin with.),and that is unlikely anytime soon.(And this does not even address the question of Fatah's sincerity).

..."There can be no compromise between a property owner and a burglar; offering the burglar a single teaspoon of one’s silverware would not be a compromise, but a total surrender—the recognition of his right to one’s property.
“Doesn’t Life Require Compromise ?” The Virtue of Selfishness, 93. pb 93. ...."But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromiser is the transmitting rubber tube . . . When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute, when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, it’s picked up by scoundrels—and you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self -righteously
uncompromising evil.".... Galt’s Speech, For the New Intellectual, 216; pb 173.
