the map shows an offer of 95% of the West Bank That is a fair comment. Of course the Palestinians should have negotiated some straighter border lines from that on a give and take basis. They didn't as you have recorded. I do wonder though why Israel has always kept the "kill ratio" in it's favor during this conflict. It's ratio of Palestinian civilians dead to Israeli civilians dead is 5:1 to 15:1 depending how you argue the figures... btselem.org The math of conflict suggest a ratio of less the 1:1 to enforce co operation...
