RussThe Arab countries don't want a Palestinian state separate from Israel. They want to *replace* Israel with a Palestinian state. They may be willing to recognize Israel for now, but they aren't backing away from demanding a suicidal "right of return" for Palestinians from the Israelis. They know that time and fertility is on their side, if they can just get their foot in the door.
Doesn't anyone besides me wonder why? Why didn't Egypt and Jordan give the Gaza and West Bank to the Palestinians as a state sometime between 1948 and 1967? If I was a Palestinian I would certainly be curious.
