Looks to me like he's overcompensating for something, einstein.

nerd, I don't have time to answer your post properly right now. But you're wrong about Jordan. Jordan is Jordan. The land that the Palestinians are on now is the land they have been living on for centuries. They were granted that land in the same agreement that granted the Israelis what was supposed to be Israel. And in that agreement, Israel was given quite a bit less land than it now has. Israel took, by force, land that was not granted to it in any agreement.

The terms of Barak's offer were in no way conducive to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. And it wasn't in the least bit generous. Barak offered the Palestinians a scattering of tiny bantustans, surrounded by Israeli controlled land. It offered the Palestinians pretty much exactly what the Blacks in South Africa had under apartheid.
