I wonder if Jackass Straw would be in favor of former Tory MPs negotiating for the U.K.

The accords are terrible. I'm saying so not because i don't want peace, its just that Blair and Straw in their naivete don't realise that the Palestinians will just use this as a starting point and ask "well what else is coming our way?"

"No one can have any objection to any sovereign state building a wall or fence along its international border, but that is wholly different from building a wall or fence on someone else's territory. It is Palestinian land,"

Palestinian land? Jordan illegally occupied Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip was illegally occupied by Egypt before the 1967 defensive war. Both countries gave up any and all claims to those territories when they negotiated their respective peace agreements with Israel. Furthermore, the Arab partition was rejected in 1947, and hence, it is null and void. So per the Balfour Declaration, those territories legally and lawfully belong to Israel. And, there was never before in history a country called Palestine.
