Someone has to start reminding her that the entire North American continent, South American continent and the Australian continent are also conquered territory.

This is why we won't have peace "until Moshiach comes," in the words of our friend of the family. The 1948 war may never have ended (from Daniel Gordis' book) and we didn't come any closer to peace with Oslo. Better to face this and be respected than try to earn the world's goodwill by endangering our security.
