This included his demand for the need to respect the 1967 borders, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, and agreement on the final status of Jerusalem as capital of a Palestinian state. Sounds like the Palestinians are still holding out for a one state solution where Israelis and Palestinian refugees share the occupied territories and the current state of Israel in an equal arrangement. Its a very American value demand (lets all be equal regardless of ethnicity), and its got close to zero chance of occurring, and zero support from Americans. You'd think some Arab government would just kick $100 million in an ad campaign to sway Americans sentiment in favor of the Palestinians, rather than the current setup where Americans just think they are a bunch of crazy terrorists... I don't think the Arabs have a clue on how to sway public opinion in America. The Saudis tried just before the presidential election with this commercial on radio stations that turned out to be wrong. I heard it twice and then it was pulled. Probably one of the worst commercials I had ever heard. I don't think the Saudis are much better with Congress whereas the Israelis are the masters. I don't know what it will take to get the Palestinian POV to the American public but it ain't happening at the current time. Plus, those suicide bombers only make matters worse.......Arabs are seen as crazy, religious extremists. ted
