must accept the establishment of a Palestinian state

Michael is of course right — there was a Palestinian state (then called Transjordan) decades before fulfillment of the League of Nations Mandate to create a Jewish state. But put that aside. We must after all maintain moral equivalence. Never mind that Israel has done everything up to and including attempted national suicide to try to facilitate the establishment of a second Palestinian state. Like the sign said at one demonstration – “Israel cares about Palestinian lives. Arab states don’t.”

The last exchange made public was for an Israeli businessman. If that ratio is followed, then for 10,000 Israelis moved out of Gaza, over 4 MILLION palestinian arabs should move out of Samaria and Judea. chsw The situation might change for the better if Olmert grows a pair and says that the prisoner exchange ratio for Shalit and other captured Israelis will be the same as the population transfer ratio used for moving Jews and Arabs out of Gaza and the West Bank.

There's always a "but," isn't there? It's funny, but getting through college with a history major, it always seemed to me that British lopped off 3/4 of 'palestine' and handed it to the arabs. Today it's called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. So why do the pallys whine so much? Oh that's right; we Jews exist.
