They are simply asking that Israel agree to be in compliance with UN resolution 242 and 194 amongst MANY others AND be compliant with the Geneva Convention and International law.......what's wrong with that?!? No, they aren't. Resolutions 242 and 194 call for a negotiated settlement wrt to borders and refugees. After wrangling between the US and the USSR, Resolution 242 demanded only withdrawal from "territories" taken, not "all territories", with negotiations over borders - and at that, negotiations between Israel, Egypt and Jordan because 242 speaks only of return of territories, not the creation of a new Palestinian state. The Arabs just made their own most extreme interpretation of the Resolutions, and demand that Israel follow them, not as a result of negotiations, but as a precondition to them. And the Left backs them, conveniently forgetting who started the wars in the first place. That is the hypocrisy of the western world. It scarcely escapes notice that the western world is saying to the Arabs, just take Israel and leave us alone.
