They have rejected a return of most of the land. Wrong. They accepted a return of some of their land in 1993, and it was a unmitigated disaster. Israel used the Oslo accords as a platform to accelerate the occupation and settlement-building and proceed to the eventual goal of controlling the entire West Bank. Furthermore, there was no offer by Israel, and no rejection by the Palestinians, as has been well documented. Furthermore, what was DISCUSSED (but not formally offered), was giving the Palestinians roughly 60% of the remaining 22% of their land. It is a fact that 13% of Palestine is not "most of their land". It is a tiny sliver, with the good parts (Jordan Valley, Jerusalem, borders), taken away. The FACT is that the Palestinians have for three decades offered the Israelis three quarters of the Palestinians homeland. The Israelis are simply too greedy to settle for this. Just as they were too greedy to accept the 1977 Camp David terms from Sadat in 1971, because they thought they could get a better offer by holding out. Tom
