Did the Palestenian proposal say that they (the Palestenians) will limit the possession of arms? If so then something is not Kosher here. Is this a voluntary gesture from the PLO?

The Iron Law of Demographics.... June 18, 2002 Arabs upset neighbors in wealthy Jewish suburb By Paul Martin THE WASHINGTON TIMES JERUSALEM - Well-heeled Israeli Arabs have begun buying homes in an upscale Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem, upsetting community leaders, who have begun urging real-estate agents to help preserve the "special character" of the neighborhood. "It's not that I'm racist," said Uri Michaeli, the head of the committee controlling the nicest part of the French Hill neighborhood. "But just as I'm against ultra-Orthodox Jews living in the middle of a secular neighborhood, so I feel that Arabs should not come and live in the middle of a Jewish neighborhood. That's not healthy." The normally quiet and refined neighborhood was built after its capture in the 1967 War on land that had been state property under the Jordanians. It became a fashionable Jewish suburb, with attractive apartment blocks amid greenery and spectacular views stretching as far as the Dead Sea.

Up to now the Palestinians have insisted that all the refugees and their descendants, about 4 million people, must have the right to return to Israel. That's a bald-faced lie. Robert Malley on Camp David 2000: "And, while they [the Palestinians] insisted on recognition of the refugees' right of return, they agreed that it should be implemented in a manner that protected Israel's demographic and security interests by limiting the number of returnees." nytimes.com In fact, this has been recognized for a long time. The words of UN Resolution 242 35 years ago: "For achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem". Anwar Sadat 35 years ago: "Compensation and a referendum on the future of the Palestinians, without reference to repatriation to their former homes in Israel" as a "reasonable way to solve the problem."
