Isi Leibler points out the obvious:
As our unilateral withdrawal is about to be implemented the Palestinians are openly proclaiming that terrorism will be intensified, not bothering to hide their objective: the elimination of Jewish sovereignty in the region.
His solution is to explain this blatantly obvious fact to the world and to demonstrate Israeli resolve by annexing swaths of the West Bank. The Gaza for Yesha trade-up is probably Sharon’s plan anyway, and for a better explanation of the way that this would play out on the Palestinian street, see Caroline Glick’s much better column on this question from a couple weeks ago.
