The Saudi plan offers a first step including recogntion. The west bank/gaza split offers the israelis an opening and the pals an opportunity. Time to take advantage. Advantage of what? Abbas is a figurehead, he can deliver nothing. Olmert is little better, only still in office because the Knesset knows it will change over too in new elections. The Saudis are just moving an inch forward now - they sent two actual diplomats to talk to the Israelis, just as if they were humans, gasp! - because they know it's safe, they can't be taken up on the offer. They are still demanding that Israel give up all the land, & "right of return" for "recognition". What's recognition? A word, nothing more. Arafat recognized Israel in 1993, does the PA recognize Israel today? Does Hamas? You are so hard that they fear you are racist They don't fear it, they "know" it. That's because they don't know any history and won't be bothered to learn. It's like deciding that the Americans and British were racist against the Germans in WWII because they treated them so very badly. Surely if they weren't so hard and racist, they could have worked out some solution? Stands to reason, right?
