<<<To me, it seems that far too many Jews here are more concerned with whether they are Cohanim than what is going on in the Middle East.

you don't think people can be concerned about more than one thing at a time ?

<<<I am not sure whether what I have heard is true or not: the peace deal that was offered was unacceptable to the Palestinians because 98% of the land offered them was useless desert.

the mid-east IS desert, the palestinians would have got land that they are already on...they aren't going to get Tel Aviv, sorry...and that is a city that the Israelis built from scratch anyway.

<<<Also, Arafat was scared he would be murdered had he accepted the peace offer.

he has been in charge of a failed attempt to get a state for his people (if in fact he even is a legitimate representative, which i believe is debateable), and thus he should "hang up his skates"...he is a failure every which way to sunday...

<<<. Also, at that time, the Palestinians were planning something big, or so it seems, and so it was not in their interest to make peace.

huh ? something big ? like sending fools off to blow themselves up in public ? not in their interests to make peace ? what kind of shit are you trying to pass here ?
