To sum up this running debate:
History is disputed and mixed. You and Marcos will never share common ground. He refuses to accept the reality of Israels existance as a predominately Jewish state in a sea of arabs. I understand that he doesnt think zionism was right or fair but calling for Jewish suicide is not in the cards so we should not engage him any longer in that part of the debate.
Palestinians are first beginning to understand how counterproductive the use of terror has been for their interests. The Israelis have given up any expanionist Greater Israel notions some their leaders may have harbored. The time has come to make peace. Abbas and Sharon seem like two men who understand the above and are willing to strike a deal after some preconditions are met. Hamas seems conflicted and the gaza branch may want to enter the political fray. Displaced settlers should take the deal offered. 1967 borders with changes based on reality giving neither side additional land should form the basis for a deal. Perhaps some sort of Hong Kong solution for Jerusalem where arabs gets control of the East as a capital after X years?? Symbolic right of return of a small group of Pals who actually owned land back then. Personally i cant believe a Pal state can be viable with an association with jordan and egypt of some type. Just some international political ideas thrown into what is becoming this tiresome moral/historical argument going on here. If we want to talk history why not pick another area of the world for a change. Mike
