"I think the lack of peace [between Israel and the Palestinians] is the major threat. I don't see the ability of creating a two-state solution beyond 2008, 2009. I think this is really the last chance. If this fails, I think this is going to be a major threat for the Middle East: Are we going to go for another 60 years of `fortress Israel,' or are we going to have a neighborhood where Israel is actually incorporated? That's our major challenge, I'm very concerned that the clock is ticking, that the door is closing on all of us."

• `fortress Israel,' : what is the meaning of this expression? Why is Israel obligated to drop her defenses and allow herself to be eradicated?
• a neighborhood where Israel is actually incorporated Ahmadinejad said "a world without Israel. Is the King ready to accept the existence of Israel, in her homeland, as a Jewish state or not? Israel is incorporated, but not accepted. Why not? Because she reconquered land conquered by Muslims in 638. Lets examine Art. 11 of the Hamas Charter.

The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine has been an Islamic Waqf throughout the generations and until the Day of Resurrection, no one can renounce it or part of it, or abandon it or part of it. ...This is the status [of the land] in Islamic Shari'a, and it is similar to all lands conquered by Islam by force, and made thereby Waqf lands upon their conquest, for all generations of Muslims until the Day of Resurrection.

If we can solve the Israeli/Palestinian process, then that will make it easier for Arab states and the Gulf states to support us when it comes to issues like Iraq and Afghanistan.

1. The only process is one of genocide & policide: the destruction of Israel.
2. Islam is a way of life; the Ummah is a brotherhood, Muslims support each other against Kuffar. The Gulf states can not and will not support us in Iraq and Afghanistan without risking their thrones.

If we've gotten an Israeli/Palestinian peace deal, maybe at the same time peeling Syria out of the Iranian orbit, that makes it easier to isolate Iran so that they have a tougher time developing a nuclear weapon.

• Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. [9:29]
• jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist) [Abu Dawud 14.2526]
• "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." [Bukhari 4.52.177]

....I think the next president has to start very quickly in moving both on the peace process forward...

That the Palestinian people are having a very tough time right now economically, and it is in U.S. interests to make sure that they have a sense of hope and opportunity and a Palestinian state.

• They hope to destroy Israel, to perform genocide & policide. How is it in our interest to give them that hope?
• The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is in 'Palestine' and is composed largely of 'Palestinians'. Why should it not be considered the "Palestinian state'? Why give them a staging area for continued Jihad against Israel?

And what I've said is that we're going to make sure that the Palestinians have the--a state that allows them to prosper as long as we also have certainty that Israel's security is not being compromised.

• How can the Falestinians prosper when they pour everything into corruption and Jihad?
• Israel's security is compromised so long as one Muslim is alive on the face of the earth.
