...decision by iran last week to restart the process of uranium enrichment that, under an agreement with the major European powers, it had ceased in 2004. Assume - as many fear - that Iran wants highly enriched uranium not so that it can develop nuclear power, but to build an atomic bomb. Suppose, moreover, that it manages to do so, and that there is no military intervention in Iran of the kind that Israel visited upon Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981. What would happen next?

...demographic time bomb and that to preserve Israel as Jewish and democratic, Israel could not remain in control of all the West Bank and Gaza. So he did what was previously unthinkable: he withdrew unilaterally from Gaza and dismantled the settlements there. Only someone who had built the settlements and also been tough on terror and never willing to "compromise on Israeli security" could have taken on the settler constituency in Israel.
