In the 1932 film "The Western Code," character Nick Grindell famously told a foe: "This town ain't big enough for the both of us and I'm going to give you 24 hours to get out. If I see you in Carabinas by this time tomorrow, it's you or me!"

At the hill of Netzer in Gush Etzion on Independence Day, 2011, Coalition Chairman MK Ze'ev Elkin sounded a similar note with regard to the Palestinian Authority.
 
"In the struggle for Gush Etzion in 1948, the Jews fought for a Jewish Jerusalem," he said. "In the present struggle for the hills of Judea and Samaria, and also for this hill, the struggle is for the future of the Jewish state, no more and no less. For there is no room on these hills for two states. It's either us or them. And so, each hill says 'We are here' - and if us, it's us, and not them."
 
Israel has been negotiating with the PA for 18 years in the hope of reaching a compromise over ownership of Jerusalem and the Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria. The negotiations have continued despite hundreds of horrific terror attacks directed by the PA against Israeli civilians.
