Huh?

I can only assume he's joking:

"The world prayed that after the unilateral departure of Israel from Lebanon in 2000 and Gaza in 2005, and the recent elections in Beirut and the West Bank, it was witnessing an incremental evolution toward a lasting peace between rational democratic states. Gradually, Israel was returning to its 1967 borders. In response, gradually, it was hoped, Israel's Arab neighbors would vote into office reasonable statesmen who would renounce terror and get on with the business of crafting workable economies and governments. But all that optimism presupposed a radical change in the Middle Eastern mentality. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened." [emphasis added]

Did ANYone (perhaps besides Mr. Hanson) - to include most Israelis - really believe that Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza would lead naturally to a return to its 1967 borders? Ariel Sharon certainly didn't:

Enjoying a moment of international sympathy, Sharon's government is moving swiftly to capitalize on its unilateral withdrawal and ongoing demolition of 25 Jewish settlements. The government's efforts are focused largely in the West Bank, land of far more religious and strategic importance to Israel than the remote slice of coastline it has left behind.

A little more than 31,000 Israelis live in Maale Adumim, a suburban settlement built on land captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war. Israeli officials say it will grow to more than 50,000 people and eventually touch the edge of East Jerusalem, even though the U.S. government and Palestinian leaders have said that such growth would severely complicate efforts to establish a viable Palestinian state.

So as we delve into the justifications that terror organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas use in targeting Israel, let's make sure we accurately gauge Israeli actions...and understand how these actions have given groups like Hezbollah and Hamas far more 'street cred' than they deserve.
