Neolib is a better guy than that last post but i think the crux of what he was talking about with "best lands" was less the farmland which you are right about, but jerusalem. Of all the land issues that are raised by the pals and their pals, Jerusalem is at the heart of things. Is there another way to address that issue apart from the israelis just saying its ours? Perhaps someone can up with something creative here like stays part of israel with continued religous autonomy and perhaps the palestinians can get a building that has the legal status lets say of an embassy and where they can house their Parliament for example.

You are badly confused. 20% of Israeli citizens are not Jewish. About 20% of the Rhodesian Parliament seats were reserved for Black Rhodesians. There were NO black South African citizens under apartheid. They were all citizens, just 2'nd class ones. This is the standard Arab line. It is sublimely rich. The part of Israel with Jews in it is "better" not because it was better when they arrived - actually it was worse, desert and swamp mostly - it's only become "better" because they spent 80 years reclaiming the land and managing it with modern agricultural techniques. Whats going to happen with the Jordan valley area on the West Bank? Who is going to get that? Who gets the bulk of the water?
