Chris Hedges on Pornography, discussing Empire of Illusion on BookTV

[Warren DeMontague]

94. Not to steer this train off into I/P land, that's not the view espoused by Chomsky I meant.

Yes, the green 1967 line is and needs to be the basis of any realistic long-term 2 state solution. That's not just the position of most nations worldwide, that's actually the accepted position among most of Israel, and was the basis for the final deal that Yasser Arafat walked away from in 2000... Not, again, because the Israelis weren't working off of the '67 lines for the final borders, but because Arafat torpedoed the whole thing on the right of return issue at the last minute.

Whether or not you agree with Chomsky being barred from the West Bank in 2010, it would NOT have happened merely for advocacy of the same principle which was driving Ehud Barak and the peace process of the 1990s, ie. a 2 state solution based upon the '67 borders modified with mutually agreed upon land swaps.
