<<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.>> Yes they are wrt 194......they say right in their proposal! With 242 not calling for a new Palestinian state, then it should make it easier for the Israelis to comply and then negotiate the new Palestinian state. <<and demand that Israel follow them, not as a result of negotiations, but as a precondition to them>> Excuse me, but aren't resolutions by their nature a precondition to further negotiation?!? You're condemning the Arabs for asking that International law be followed?!? Non-compliance with a unanimous resolution is punishable by invasion for the Iraqis.....should THEY be crying that they're held to a higher standard than everyone else?!? <<And the Left backs them, conveniently forgetting who started the wars in the first place. That is the hypocrisy of the western world.>> Don't you at any point find it astounding that the whole western world is wrong and you're right? What do you see as a solution to the conflict???
