Subject: RE: BS: Immediate vs phased withdrawal from Iraq
Paul Burke,

You state
"At the same time, do something about the problem that underlies the whole thing. Israel must return to the 1967 borders, and compensation must be given to the descendants of the Palestinians displaced in 1947."


Why 1967? Why not 1972, or 1948, or 1927 ( when the ARAB PALESTINIAN homeland was split off from Mandate Palestine) ?


As for compensation, will you also require it for the descendents of those jews ( a GREATER number) that were driven out of Arab countries? If not, why not?
