Re: same narrative indeed (none / 0)

Throwing the idea od the rfugees is for poker purposes for Palestinians. As the idea of retaining importan parts of the West Bank for Israle. they are there fo rthe sake of saying that both made compromises.

As you may guess the problem is that they are both serious about Jerusalem....

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude

Re: same narrative indeed (none / 0)

The Palestinian side as repeatedly pointed out that the right of return doesn't mean actual return by hundreds of thousands. Most don't want to live in Israel, you see. But it could be the basis of (a) reparations, (b) visits to old dwelling-places inside Israel, and (IIRC this one wasn't said openly by Palestinians) (c) Israeli subsidies for the construction of new homes for refugees in the new Palestina.

Re: same narrative indeed (none / 1)

allthose things a third of isralis would happily accept in exchange for a safe jewish majority democratic state. The restof the population..I guess you could convince another third...

Re: same narrative indeed (none / 0)

Difficult, when they turn to Kadima, and Barak and his former staff insist to keep up the myths to absolve them for the failure of Taba and Camp David - but if the well-meaning third is persistent, it may happen.
