PFR,

"These pre-existing truce lines may or may not have served a purpose in their day,
but conflict resolution should look to achieving compromise and agreement on mutually acceptable present and future needs ..."


I AGREE. Israel has always said exactly this- ONLY the Palestinian side has demanded a reversion to the post-1948 lines, and refused to negotiate, BECAUSE they HAVE ethnically cleansed the West Bank from 1948 to 1967, they object to any Jews (Or Christians) returning to their homes there ( sound familiar- but if the Palestinians demand it, it is OK- Only Jewish refugees have no right of return according to JC.)
