When terrorists propose a two-state solution, what they really mean is a one-state, zero-Jew solution.

In many ways, it’s nothing more than a fresh declaration of war. I certainly don’t see how it contirbutes anything positive to the conflict, even for the Palestinian side. If it accomplishes anything, it simply exaserbates other problems. This is a great post, Meryl, and I’m going to try to write something longer on this on my site tomorrow.

"But at least they canâ€t blame Israel when Hamas rejects the â€œpeaceâ€ plan" Sure they will. It's not like they ever tried to make sense.

Actually, they demand all land "occupied in 1967". This does not mean land that Israel occupied from 1948 to 1967 will be allowewd to be Israeli. After all, that land was occupied in 1967 as well. What they mean is that any land that was in the borders of Israel in 1967 will be demanded by the Arabs. Any land not occupied by Israel in 1967 (such as the east bank of the Jordan) is still not occupied by Israel so they will leave it alone. Perhaps, the land west of Tel Aviv and Haifa (the ocean bottom that is) will be allowed to be Israeli. However, the land uncovered by the tide will be considered "disputed territory". Sabba Hillel
