Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat nearly had peace....

Bubba, have one of those:

It'll make you feel better

So i suppose Sharron was responsible for Arafat turning down Barak's offer? That was the best chance the region had for peace and Arafat pissed it away.

did you read the offer ?

Another way of looking at it:

* Israeli redeployment from 95% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip
* The creation of a Palestinian state in the areas of Israeli withdrawal
* The removal of isolated settlements and transfer of the land to Palestinian control
* Other Israeli land exchanged for West Bank settlements remaining under Israeli control
* Palestinian control over East Jerusalem, including most of the Old City
* "Religious Sovereignty" over the Temple Mount, replacing Israeli sovereignty in effect since 1967

The above page is just as biased towards Israel as the page you linked to is biased towards the Palestinians, though.

The deal offered wasn't perfect, but it's the best that's been and ever will be offered.

i have no comment on this one.

most admit it was not this bad
but when you fight for 40 years for a cause, its hard to tell all we've gained was peanuts

anyway

this problem have no real solutions
maybe a new kind of states governed by the UN
