20. what a bizarre and skewed view you have of this conflict
Edited on Sun Apr-19-09 02:37 PM by shira
Because Israel didn't disengage from ALL Palestinian territory, it's as if they didn't disengage at all and therefore INVITED even more aggression? A big reason this conflict hasn't been resolved already is this maximalist position of "all or nothing", and defense for it from folks like yourself, that keeps the conflict going.

Be realistic.

Do you have ANY reason to believe - any evidence to show - that if Israel pulled out of the W.Bank along with Gaza 4 years ago, that the Palestinian response (more war) would have been different?

Do you believe it would be different, like no rockets, etc.. if Israel withdrew within the next 3-6 months?

Please answer.

Barak did offer what amounted to 100%. Read Clinton's parameters. President Clinton stated that this was a proposal that Arafat could take to his own people and claim 100% of the pre-1967 land. Barak and his cabinet agreed to Clinton's parameters.
