Gotta love their headline. If you reject a peace plan, regardless of how poorly structured, you are rejecting peace.

Where are their headlines stating that Palestinian actions which violate the Oslo Accord are a rejection of peace?

Yeah, thanks to Reuters I now understand that all Arabs want peace, but Israel wants only war to satisfy it's continuing bloodlust.

That's actually the headline? WOW! That's a new low in media bias. Un-friggin'-believable.

Actually, it's all too believable. Whew.

Frequently I wonder if the Islamic nations think the rest of the world has amnesia. We all know that their state run media has been spreading and fanning the flames of Jewish hatred for decades -or has it been centuries. Wasn't it just this past week that a popular Saudi paper ran a story about how Jews use gentile blood in their holiday meals? And wasn't it just in December that both Saddam Hussein and an Iranian cleric made separate statements suggesting that the Islamic nations rallly together and finally destroy Israel?!! Is Israel and the rest of the world suppose to believe that the Islamic leaders (who are all fundamentalists and who's hatred of Jews -and the USA- is ingrained in their belief system) are now changing their tune, their stripes, and willing to do a complete 180 degree turn in their fundamentalist belief system? That ain't likely.

The Israeli counterproposal:

1. Syria, Lebanon Jordan Egypt and Saudi Arabia all share in taking in the "palestinian" "victims".

2. Lebanon, Syrya, Jordan and Egypt all donate a 50 mile empty defense zone adjacent to Israel, where no one is allowed to live or travel, and which is heavily and continuously mined.

3. Oil producing states will contribute $1 million to every victim of terrorist bombers for the last 18 months.

4. No roads leading to and from Israel, ever.

5. Contribution of half of the city of Mecca and half of Medina as a show of good faith and tolerance, where Synagogues and Christian cathedrals can be built with no restrictions.

If these demands are not met, macho muslim Arab dogs...
Prepare and start training your Jannisaries!!
(since you can't fight your own battles)

Arabs are right. There should be "land for peace". Except, it's Israel that should be rolling in it's take and heavy armor into neighboring Arab countries, taking more land and then forcing a "peace" on to the Arabs. Either that or there are some countries that really need their cities reorganzied and relocated by nuclear weapons. This kind of therapy works wonders.

But, the offer of general Arab recognition of Israel, normalizing of relations and the announcement of an official end to the Arab/Israeli conflict if Israel withdraws to its pre-'67 borders is truly unprecedented.

and... judging by historical Arab./Muslim behavior...

A LIE!

ASSASSIN; a word that has its roots in Moslem Arabs culture!

Just look it up in the dictionary to learn how Moslems invented the cowardly killing of their enemies in the darks of the nights. It is very difficult to think that the Arabs and the Israelis are going to hustle each other, by barbaric force, and the Israelis are going to win. Granted Israel is equipped with military force that can kill all the Palestinians, and all the Arabs in a matter of days, however, they are not functioning in vacuum. As a respectful civilized country, and civilized people, they must comply with minimum human behaviors, and that is where the disadvantage is appearant.

From what I know about the Jewish people and their religion, they are certainly civilized peaceful people, and in no way a match to the barbaric Arab Moslems. However, a bully, such as Sharon managed to get elected as their leader, and is certainly learning the hard way that force does not pay, if you are playing with people who have no regards for human life, and an unlimited supply of martyrs who are HAPPY to kill themselves in order to make the Israelis pay dearly for their brutal actions. If your son or dauter is one of the killed Israelis civilians, you would think twice before continuing to antagonizing these savages.

Prime Minister Ehud Barak managed to get considerable amount of normality and goodwill between the two people. Actually the Clinton push to achieve peace in the Middle East before leaving office illustrates that once two sides are not belligerent, an outsider can bridge the gap, and push them to reconcile. We know what happened at the last minute, the “peace” loving king of Saudi Arabia (the darling of all American Presidents) dictated to Arafat to drop the deal if the Israelis don’t allow the return of millions of Palestinians from the Diaspora! That can bring additional millions to overcrowd the Jewish population, and effectively regain majority.

The Israelis are frustrated with the terrorist bombing of their civilians and are loosing their moral superiority by getting dragged down to the mud with the barbaric Moslems. So what can be done? It would be nice if Ehud Barak can take over from Sharon, and start to conduct negotiation from a position of humble humility rather then arrogance. Well well, I will hear all the angry Israeli supporters saying, we cannot reward terrorism, bla, bla, bla….I say to that, before the Sharon arrogant leadership, there was a definite sense of calm, and the Hamas Islamists factions of the Palestinian people were going to be marginalized. Sharon, by pushing a wounded animal to the corner, unleashed the fury of the Islamists savagery. Hence the election of Sharon did not do the Israeli people any favors. I know that I am calling for the resignation of Sharon, and most people say, how about Arafat? To this I say, barbaric Arabs did not learn about resignation/election/peaceful transfer of power yet.

The Saudi plan is a scam and EVERYONE knows it. The Usraelis can never pull back to the 1967 borders, they have already incorporated too much of the land into Israel. Israeli settlers populate many points and defend these compounds tenaciously. The Israeli government would never move against these settlers and, in fact, rely on them for political support.

Suggesting that Isael revert to the 1967 borders is like Fox of Mexico telling us the the immigration/amnesty issue would be square if we reverted to the 1840 borders. Texas and California long ago ceased being part of Mexico and became part of the US just as points (not all) of the lands acquired in 1967 have become part of Israel.

No it's not. It's the BS they have circulating for years. It's a stunt to get them out of the doghouse after 9-11.

FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN:

"In the pre-1967 borders, Israel was barely ten miles wide at its narrowest point. The bulk of Israel's population lived within artillery range of hostile Arab armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again." (Address to the Nation, September 1, 1982).

Peace plan - myass.

The Arabs want Israel gone.
That's their plan.
Nothing has changed.
Their "plan" is nothing new.
Over 50 years ago,
they supported the same plan - along with the Third Reich.
