<<< In 1940-41, an Arab member of the Jerusalem Municipal Council, Adil Jabr, after consultation with Palestinian and other Arab leaders, drafted a proposal for a binational Palestine based on full equality within a broader federation of autonomous states ... David Ben Gurion rebuffed the offer with "unrestrained anger", describing it as "an abomination" and refusing to deal with the document at all. The bottleneck was Jabr's 4th proposal suggesting a bi-national Palestine, based on parity in government. Ben Gurion's unwillingness to agree to parity (which he had ostensibly favored since 1931) and not the oft-heard complaint that "there is no one to talk to in the Arab camp" was the real obstacle on the way to accord. >>> ( p36 Peace in the Middle East ) Tom
