>Z, first, it wasn't the Palestinians who attacked but the Syrians and Egyptians. The Palestinians did not see themselves as separate from the other Arabs until after '48. They considered themselves "Southern Syrians". Z, so what.....that doesn't change the fact that in 1967 nearly 20 years after the 1948 war, the Syrians and Egyptians attacked Israel and not the former Southern Syrians, the Palestinians. >Secondly, was there ever a time when Israel said it would not give the WB and Gaza back, or that the Palestinians could no longer have their state? After all, it was the WB that was supposed to the Palestinian state from the beginning. Actually, the Palestinian state was supposed to be much larger than it is envisioned to be now. It included the West Bank, Gaza, and a significant part of what is now Israel. However, Israel gets to keep its part and now they want a portion of Gaza and the WB plus they want to keep their settlements in those territories as well. But you continue to think the stumbling block to the peace process is solely the Palestinians. I don't have all the facts but frankly, if I were Arafat, I don't think I would accept this proposal from Israel either. Would you if you were Palestinian? BTW lets forget for the moment that Arafat is a beggar. <g> ted
