The Israelis wanted peace. They wanted to trade the land for peace. They did not want to invite an invading army to set up shop 2 miles from Jerusalem. Hello? What part of this isn't obvious?


You misunderstood what I meant. I am saying that Israel could have divided the land more or less according to UN resolutions and settled Palestinians there. The Pals would be a self-autonomous region but Israel would have still controlled the entire territories. In time and if negotiations with Arabs was successful, then Israel could have withdrawn completely. The spirit of what I am suggesting is very different than the relocations and Palestinian camps that Israel did create.
