Olmert to comply with 100% of Palestinian land demands
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is considering a final status peace deal with the Palestinians that would require Israel to allow the creation of a Palestinian state on the 100 percent of the territory liberated by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.
According to the proposal, which was first reported on by Ha'aretz, Israel would retain control over several large settlement blocs in the West Bank, and in exchange transfer a number of Arab towns insider sovereign Israel to Palestinian control.
Olmert's office issued a denial of the original Ha'aretz report, but the newspaper got confirmation from aides to Israeli President Shimon Peres that the prime minister had in fact adopted the plan, which was formulated by their boss when he was serving as Olmert's deputy.
Meanwhile, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said that Monday's meeting between Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas had accelerated the establishment of a Palestinian state on Israel's biblical heartland.
“Abbas and Olmert discussed the fundamentals that will allow a Palestinian state to be established in an expeditious manner,” Erekat told Israel's Army Radio.
Guys, there has GOT to be a way to force this guy from office and replace him with someone much wiser, who actually believes in the borders of the BIBLICAL land area given to Avraham, Isaac and Jacob!
Now, like never before those who are not left wing uber peaceniks need to join together. Oy, I am sick of reading news like this.
And yet, I am finding myself agreeing with a friend of mine who said:
"Why do American Jews get so surprised and outraged really, when Israel is deciding to give up a quarter of its land when so many American Jews are so willing to give up 100% of Israel by not living here? Isn't that the real astonishment?"
