| #7 There is only one fact here. That is the Muslims believe they own in perpetuity any place they have set foot. Any negotiations over land control are considered temporary and unrealistic. This is what we (civilization) have learned from Islam. Why do we ignore this lesson ? |

| #6 Barak offered 90% of the West Bank. Arafat, used to Mid east rug dealer approach, thought it HAD to be a trick. And tossed out perhaps the best offer the Pals will ever get. Olmert/Livni have decided that was a mistaken approach, and so are making a first offer that is FAR less than what everyone expects a final offer would look like. It should be noted however that A. If they are offering the Pals HALF the West Bank, thats more than any non-Labor Party Israeli leader has ever formally offered to the Pals. and B. If they are intent on keeping "large parts of E Jer" that implies they will concede SOME parst of E Jer, again going farther than any non-Labour Israeli leader has ever done. Also, its most unlikely a final deal WONT involve Israel keeping significant parts of East Jerusalem. |
