Thanks for a straight answer. But would Israel be willing to let a section of Jerusalem serve as the capital of a Palestinian state, if such a state were established, and, if not, why not?

Been there, done that

By Jerusalem, I assume you refer not only refer to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Temple Mount mosques, and the Armenian quarter, but it is Jerusalem in its entirety, entirety, entirety...The British Mandate administration stated as early as 1929 that the Western Wall is the Al-Buraq Wall and that it is considered a Muslim religious endowment (waqf) to which Palestinians hold historic rights.

They offered that very thing to Arafat and he turned it down. Now if so, why? Why should Israel offer part of it's capital to another group of people who have demonstrated their enmity with Israel? Why would anybody in their right mind demand that it does? For promises of Peace?! Why accept promises of peace from mass murders unless you are suicidal?

The Palestinians were given land that they promised never to launch an attack from. How good is it working? So now they want more land that they promise they will never launch an attack from. Yeah. That dog don't hunt.

There has never been a Palestinian state. It is a myth. This land belonged to Jordan and they expelled the Palis. The only peace that the Saudis offer is the peace of the grave. Have you forgotten who were the main players in 9/11 and who continue to be at the center of this terrorism? I am beginning to worry that Bush is going to sell out Israel inorder to pursue his own agenda. If so he and we will regret it.

no, they will not. never.
