Israel has conceded the Sinai. It has also to a large extent conceded the idea that most of the West Bank and Gaza will be a Palestinian State when it used to push for the idea that both would be forever part of Israel. Just a few years ago it offered most of the West Bank and Gaza at the neogiating table only to have violence as a response.

Tim, they occupied the Sinai during the 6 day war and then, the UN ordered them to give it back to Egypt. I don't see that as a major concession.

And Sharon has said publicly that Israel will never give up the occupied territories......Gaza and the WB.

You state that a few years ago, they offered most of the WB and Gaza to the Palestinians. What you fail to mention is that there were requirements attached that were onerous to the Palestinians and that since the late 80's, Israel has been building settlements in the WB enought to house nearly 300k people.

Where are the major concessions?
