>> There are not borders getting changed. Instead, the Israelis are stealing the land and water right from under the Arabs feet. And you're surprised that the Palestinians have a problem with this blatant theft. Just to be clear, are you suggesting that settlements are THE problem? If you believe that you're nuts. Israel is negotiable on settlements but not while they are being threatened with extinction. All they've ever asked for it a commitment to peace by the bad guys. As long as they do not have a commitment to peace, why in the world would they limit the settlements? It is the only reasonable alternative to being surrounded by states who are intransigent in their desire to see Israel gone. When you're trying to get something done, you have to present the other party with some reason to give up whatever it is you want. You don't get something for nothing. The Pals may never get back what they've lost; but unless they come to terms on some kind of peace agreement Israel has no alternative but to continue settlement activity. There is precedent; Israel gave up the entire North Sinia -- which had significant petroleum reserves -- in exchange for a peace agreement. And Israel has stuck to that deal.
