(IsraelNN.com) Israel's government has agreed, in writing, to hand over 6,250 square kilometers of land – the equivalent of its entire biblical and strategic heartland - to an Arab terror state. So reports Dr. Guy Bechor, a leading expert on Arab affairs, who also supplies some of the details of the negotiations.
Bechor reports, based on "leaks from the Palestinian side," that Israel has, in the past few days, presented Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas at least one draft of an "agreement of principles."
The agreement calls for a state named Palestine to be established alongside Israel, and have a territory of 6,250 square kilometers: the equivalent of all of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
"Palestine" will be demilitarized.
Most of the Jewish communities built in Judea and Samaria over the past 40 years are to demolished and their inhabitants expelled, according to the plan. The remaining communities are to be concentrated in small salients

for which the Arab state will be compensated with additional territory elsewhere in present-day Israel. A passage of some sort will connect Gaza and Judea and Samaria. It will be under Jewish sovereignty and Palestinian administration.
Israel agrees to redivide Jerusalem. Arab neighborhoods will be under Arab sovereignty and Jewish ones under Jewish sovereignty. Mention is made of "religious areas," but further details are not known as of yet. Each side will recognize the other's spiritual needs. The "refugee" question is not mentioned at all, and Bechor reports that this is the main sticking point. Abbas is insisting that Arabs descended from those who fled Israel in 1948 be allowed to return to Israel, at least in principle.
Bechor says that Abbas and his men have gone over the draft and are not pleased; they know how to negotiate, he notes. In a recent interview with PA TV, Abbas said that "declarations of principles are a waste of time" and "useless." What the PA wants, he said, is a clear timetable for establishing Palestine, as well as an Israeli pullback, demolition of Jewish communities and "return of refugees" (i.e., the flooding of Israel with Arab citizens).
The Arabs are hoping Israel will become more pliable in November, when an international diplomatic conference, sponsored by the US, is to be held in an attempt to hammer out an accord.
An official close to Mahmoud Abbas, Mustafa Bargouti, said that the idea of a conference is "an Israeli trap" and that nothing will come

That's just unbelievable. They're giving away God's land to Satan's spawn. He's not going to be very happy about that move. IF they think that is going to stop terrorist action against them, they will sadly find out the hard way.
Looks like that's what they have, and I'm betting that THAT is not enough.
After Israel's demise, they'll want reparations.
From the U.N.
And the U.S.
And they will NEVER be "pleased" until ALL Israeli territory is under their control. They KNOW that if they accept this or any other similar deal, their future claims against any other territory will be nullified. If they accept this, and the Saudis, Jordan, Egypt and Syria concur, recognize the territory as "Palestine" they are sealing themselves inside that territory forever......
I keep waiting for a long-overdue bolt of lightening from a blue sky to strike Olmert. The corrupt appeaser certainly deserves it.
The Arabs will reject everything Olmerde is offering them, and start another “intifada.”
Man, that Olmert is some negotiator! I bet he would have demanded, yes, demanded that Hitler concede to First-Class railway carriages for the ride to the ovens.
(To my Jewish friends, this is in no way meant to belittle the horror of the Holocaust. Never forget!)
“The Arabs will reject everything Olmerde is offering them, and start another “intifada.”
Correction: The Arabs will TAKE everything Olmerde is offering them, and start another “intifada.”
It stuns me that Olmert still has a job. I would have thought for sure that he would have been thrown out by now on a “No confidence” vote by now following last years disaster against hezbollah in Lebanon. And now this! Oh, and lest not forget he’s throwing in the Temple Mount along with this deal too.
WAKE UP ISRAEL, get rid of this bum already.

Over due indeed. Sharon didn’t fare so well, Olmert should keep that in mind.

If this guy isn’t tarred and feathered then the Israelis deserve what’s coming to...uh, going from them.
Why isn’t Olmoron impeached? They should have impeached him for Lebanon, if nothing else.
There. Fixed.
Olmerde has been drinking the bong water again ping!
Have they been dumbed-down, pacified, neutralized, lobotomized and feminized by a traitorous media such as our MSM is attempting to do to us?

I hope President Bush has the good sense to stay far away from this disaster.
