....to stop Hezbollah.
What on earth would make you think they'd stop Hamas from taking over the West Bank?
And what of the refugees? Another 62 years wasting away in camps?
Besides, once Israel's out all it would take is one rocket on Tel Aviv or Ben Gurion Airport and all hell would break loose. A move like this in the UN won't bring peace any closer. It will actually do just the opposite.
Realize that the PLO isn't suicidal either. They know what they have to lose by Hamas taking over. They don't want that and the only thing preventing that from happening is an IDF presence there.
