Diplomats in ivory towers have made this mistake before.   Israel’s former defense minister, Ehud Barak, was the first to suggest leaving behind 100,000 Jews who currently live outside the main blocs in Judea and Samaria.

A "boycott" is comparatively harmless to the Zero-State Solution.   Earlier this month, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni stated that “the boycott is moving and advancing uniformly and exponentially.”   Exactly to her point, Defense Minister Ya’alon responded that if security compromises would lead to “rockets from Nablus, Ramallah and Jenin onto Ben Gurion Airport, then
