RE: Electricity issue - The one point you both are missing is that Israeli is the occupying power. They are required by international laws to provide Palestinians with these life necesities. If they left back to their own homes and let Palestinians control/create their own electricity it wouldn't be an issue.

In reality they are just stalling until they finish their wall, then they will forcefully evacuate most settlements in WB, leaving Palestinians with another massive loss in land. Then they will probably cut support for electricity etc since they can declare that they are no longer an occupying power and have no legal recourse to thus putting millions of people in even worse conditions. Then of couse sense it isn't a real agreement with anyone, Arabs will still keep attacking and Israel will *have* to defend itself by blowing up airports, bridges, apartments, mosques, etc.
So, wait. You want them to just leave, and let the Palestinians fend for themselves, which they're fiends for planning to do?
lol, you're over simplifying it.

Difference is the actual agreement. Under an actual agreement you would have some built up trust, probably minimal to any attacks from either side. You would probably have international groups and most importantly Israel themsevles assisting Palestinian infrastructure to be built to slowly take full control of power/water needs. Under a bilateral agreement you would get a safe and stable Palestine.

The route I think Israel is taking is unilateral and will just make this conflict continue forever.

Just pointing out the oversimplifications already there.  Your refined position has some merit.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
