ZFBoxcar,

I am curious. Why do you think Palestinians, who have no state, should recognize the "right to exist" of Israel before the state of Israel recognizes the "right to exist" of a Palstinians state, while in fact engaging in policies of rejectionism of that same right? It's grossly hypocritical.

You said I "consider Israeli opinions to be irrelevant", but failed to provide any example wherein I demonstrated any such thing. If you somehow got this impression from anything I've said, it's incorrect.

You said that "withdrawing with no agreement on mutual recognition will not stop the violence". The corollary is that there should be an "agreement on mutual recognition" before any withdrawal. Well, the PA has long recognized Israel within the "green line". Israel, on the other hand, rejects the right of Palestinians to self-determination. The solution, therefore, to create the prerequisite for withdrawal, the prerequisite to end the violence, is obvious.

As for the "offer" you spoke of, I don't know who made it up. I never suggested it was "The Jewish-controlled media". But the fact is that no such "offer" as you have described was made. Whether you yourself made it up or simply parroted what you'd heard elsewhere, I know not.

Your history, that "Israel came to be in possession of the terrories" because "Egypt and Jordan launched an unjust war" is equally false. Perhaps another myth, the origins of which I likewise know not. The 1967 war, from which resulted the occupation, was launched by Israel on June 5, when they commited commenced with a war of aggression against Egypt.

Israel fired the first shot.
