THE FAIRYTALE OF LAND FOR PEACE

Land for Israel
Israelis long ago agreed to the idea that they would trade "land for peace" -- but territorial concessions, it became clear, will not bring peace. There is indeed a value to vacating land so the Palestinians can have a place to live and so that the Jews can remain a majority in their own country, but it's time to stop feeding the Israeli public fairy tales that such moves will bring peace, Alexander Yacobson writes.
