I want to tell Carter and Begin that when the Arabs set off their volcano there will be only Arabs in this part of the world...

Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.
