Alternative realities in la la land

Only politicians living in a true la la land would attempt to discuss the compensation arrangements to be offered to Israelis living in the disputed territories who would willing to relocate their lives and businesses back across the armistice ‘green’ line while the Gaza Refugees still await full compensation – three years after the expulsion. Ynet News:
The government will discuss an initiative put forward Vice Premier Haim Ramon on Sunday, proposing the voluntary evacuation and compensation of Israeli settlers living in the West Bank. The matter will be debated but not brought to a vote.

Geeze, I wonder why the debate cannot be brought to a vote? Here is a newsflash – the Gaza disengagement disaster concerned less than 10,000 Jews while expulsion from the disputed territories potentially touches the lives of more than 250,000 Jews. Here is a news flash – it ain’t gonna play.
