I also think that they kept their word to their Ottoman masters to only <b>pretend</b> to help the British in the first phase of the World War.

Meanwhile, nothing real can happen until the Arab side gets its act together. We need to see it construct a civil society, which includes shutting down gangs and militias, and develop transparent financial institutions and an independent judiciary. Olmert can agree to turn over anything he pleases, although the nation may not follow through on his promises, but it will lead neither to peace nor even to a real Palestinian government if they aren't interested in the mechanics of governing. So far thay have shown neither interest nor aptitude for it. I have no confidence in a two-state solution. They already have Jordan. let them go there and leave Eretz Yisrael to its rightful people.

I have no confidence in a two-state solution. They already have Jordan. let them go there and leave Eretz Yisrael to its rightful people.

Without this issue addressed, there is no reason to move forward on anything else!
