| When offered a new Palestinian state on 97% of the West Bank as well as an unheard of agreement to a limited "right of return" for Palestinians who fled Israel 60+ years ago, Abbas told Olmert to fuck off. Hell....the mere offer to honor a right of return would probably have driven Olmert from office, once it became public. But of course, Abbas followed in the footsteps of his hero, Yasser Arafat, who refused to take yes for an answer, as well. Given about the same percentage of both the West Bank and Gaza Strip for an independent Palestinian state, Arafat chose intifada instead. Despite the offers from Israel, Palestinians keep dismissing them as insufficient. How many counteroffers have the Palestinians come up with? Yeah, exactly. |
