That post is exactly the problem. It's as if Israel is the proper country and everyone else is an interloper infringing on Israel's rights.

That bodes well for negotiation doesn't it.

All sides need to recognize that there are no 'rights', only negotiation. Think how much easier things would be if nutcases stopped refering to centuries old claims. After all, the Palestinians are being asked to give up claims that are only a few decades old. Get rid of all the prior 'claims' and treat this as a real estate deal.

I heard that Arafat couldn't accept the deal because he would have been dead the next day. Who knows. Things might have been better if Rabin hadn't been murdered either. Israel could accept a single state solution as well but it doesn't want to because it wants to remain jewish.
