>>"territories occupied in 1948" This, aka "the right of return", is a bargaining chip to be exchanged for complete and total Israeli withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967. Nobody starts bargaining with a negotiating position identical to his adversary's ultimate goal. How else can they meet halfway? Incidentally, the vacated Israeli settlements would be ideal for housing most of the Palestinian refugees that want to return. >>Can you say, give land now, maybe we'll give peace later? I am sure you are aware that Israel can easily reoccupy any piece of Palestine it wants to, as it has convincingly demonstrated over and over again lately. The evacuation of Israeli settlements will probably be done over a period of time while at the same time various Arab countries establish normal relations with Israel. And you certainly realize that official Saudi-Israeli contacts now will mean de facto Saudi recognition of Israel before even the negotiations begin. I am surprised you regard the Saudi proposal with such cynicism. I think it's a dream come true for Israel -- and the US. Suddenly, the world looks a lot rosier, IMO. Kyros
