Ok. The plan is re-conquest. Now. Please tell me exactly why you think the owners of the place should simply lie down and let you thieves walk over them? As for the name of the place the thieves are grabbing, who cares what you call it? Theft is theft.

Lost the manual in a cab.

Want to steal another country. How is it done?

You are assuming the Pals "own it" - I don't think that's ever been established.

Regardless of who owns it - it was territory from which a war against Israel was launched in 1967. As a result of that war Israel occupied it and as such it is currently a disputed territory. To date Israel has allowed the Palestinian Authority full administrative rights over 42% of the land and 97% of the Arab population.

If the Arab population wants autonomy and a state they will have to negotiate a deal with Israel - negotiating a deal doesn't mean you get 100% of what you want. Israel has certain requirements as well, not the least being the right to national survival.

The deal Arafat wants is 100% or it's no deal. The deal Barak and Clinton offered and that he walked away from wasn't a take it or leave it proposal but a step towards a negotiating positioin. Arafat never came back with a counter proposal other that to start the intifada.
