>This unsated thirst for land has caused Israeli leaders of all parties to state repeatedly that Israel would never return to its pre-1967 borders, although those borders gave Israel 78 per cent of the historic Palestine, leaving a mere 22 per cent to the Palestinians. I'm pretty sure this isn't right, because historic Palestine included what is now Jordan. But Israel proper is something like 78% of Israel + the territories. >The dispossessed Palestinians and indeed the entire Arab world were ready to accept this division. In a historic resolution, Arab leaders meeting in Beirut in March 2002 offered Israel peace and normal relations if it withdrew to its 1967 borders, but the offer was rejected. It wasn't rejected because of borders, it was rejected because it included the "right of return," which, rightly or wrongly, will never be accepted by Israel.
