Ben Shapiro on the solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict

The time for half measures has passed...  Some have rightly suggested that Israel be allowed to decapitate the terrorist leadership of the Palestinian Authority.  But this, too, is only a half measure.  The ideology of the Palestinian population is indistinguishable from that of the terrorist leadership...

Here is the bottom line: If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper.  It’s an ugly solution, but it is the only solution.  And it is far less ugly than the prospect of bloody conflict ad infinitum...

The Jews don’t realize that expelling a hostile population is a commonly used and generally effective way of preventing violent entanglements.  There are no gas chambers here.  It’s not genocide; it’s transfer...

It’s time to stop being squeamish.  Jews are not Nazis.  Transfer is not genocide.  And anything else isn’t a solution.
