seem to believe that if Israel would have traded the West Bank and Gaza to an Arab entity, in toto, in 67 or after Oslo

Well, Derek, since I've only mentioned about 10 times on this board that Levi Eshkol did offer the land back in return for a peace treaty in 1967 and got the three no's of the Khartoum conference -- no recognition. no negotiation. no peace -- it seemed kind of useless to point it out one more time.

Derek,

We've all been up one side and down the other on these issues. My guess is that we are all tired of saying the same things to one another. I know I am.

As I recall, my post was simply to restate my historical sense given some sort of debate about the present. I don't now recall exactly what that was. No doubt, yet another assertion that the Palestinians only wanted to drive the Israelis into the sea or that ending the occupation would only have given Arafat ammunition with which to do so.

But I vote to stop those conversations for a while, at least. No doubt something will come up that will make them relevant again.
