Sadat spoke for Egypt, the country that the Gaza strip had been taken from, and that the UN resolution 242 said it should be returned to. Arafat (if you think of him as speaking for the Palestinians, which is usually not true; he speaks for his own survival, nothing else) was offered a chance to join the negotiations; he refused. And those refugees should go into the country where they choose, not somewhere on the periphery How nice of you to wave these rights around in the abstract. Face it, len, it's 50 years and five lost wars later. Israel is not going to throw open the doors for 3 or 5 or 7 or 10 million Arabs to overwhelm it. Every sensible person sees it's a non-starter. Sari Nusseibeh sees it. Why don't you? I thought Israel was created for cultural and historical reasons a opposed to religious reasons? What is this talk about Holy Land? Jewish culture is also culture. Zionism was a nationalist movement but it reflects Jewish culture. Both Christians and Jews often call Israel the Holy Land.
