When dead is dead: the peace process

It was so predictable, it was so clear. The wasted efforts of the United States to bring a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. I use the term Palestinians very loosely to describe those Arabs living in Judea and Samaria that are negotiating with Israel.
The negotiations have hit a brick wall and some fail to recognize or admit to this reality.
They are afraid of repercussions in wake of the failure of these negotiations.
Reality needs to be looked squarely in face and dealt with.
Israel needs now to take concrete steps to counter unilateral steps taken by the other side.
Some that come to mind immediately.
1. Immediate cessation of any funds delivered to the Palestinian Authority
2. Denial of passage of political leaders of the authority in any part of Israel
3. First steps to annex parts of Judea and Samaria where most of the settlers live
4. Massive building push in all areas of Judea and Samaria
5. Retaking of Northen towns that were destroyed during former prime minister Sharons perfidious actions
6. public statement of the Israeli prime minister to the world of the reasons for all these actions
These steps will start to right the ship in terms of the national security of Israel and start to stop the notion of a Palestinian state.
Enough is enough.
