>I didn't say they wanted to keep the entire West Bank. They would carve out the pieces not settled by the Palestinians and/or those that have been settled by the Israelis, and leave the Palestinians in their city refugee camps.......much like the Union of S. Africa was set up. This would permit Israel to have the best of both worlds........a piece of the WB that's ethnically clean, and access to the huge aquifer under the WB and control over the water. Barak offered the Palestinians over 90% of the West Bank, and the parts that weren't offered (due to security reasons or settlements with 100,000+ inhabitants near the border- Maaleh Adumim and Gush Etzion) were to be compensated with land from Israel proper that would connect the West Bank and Gaza. Sharon's plan does leave open the possibility of setting up South-Africa-esqu bantustans, but Barak's definitely did not. -Z
