BTW,the word Yalili means Slander..
Really, CharlieHall?
You write about Bush and 1967 borders:
…You can’t get much more categorical than that.
YES YOU CAN get more categorical than that. You can say what Obama did “The borders of Israel and Palestine SHOULD be based on the 1967 lines ..”
Bush never said anything close to that. The wording of the roadmap was chosen very carefully. It does say that “..the negotiated peace will be based on a foundation of …..”
The foundation is the idea of a land swap which Israel very well expects to do. The roadmap does not state that Israel will follow the instructions of King Abdullah regarding 1967 borders. The big thing that Abdullah brought to the table was the idea that the Arab Countries will recognize Israel and make peace with Israel. It is very notable that the document specifically does not state that the final negotiated peace will be based on 1967 borders. It states that the occupation of 1967 will end. This is because by definition the peace settlement means that the world and the palestinians will no longer consider the final Israeli borders that lie beyond the 1967 borders to be “occupied”.
@Just Smile You could be right – I will have to bring out the old tape recorder (was it on my reel to reel or the 8 track?) to see if you are correct. At my age my memory is not what it used to be. I remember having a better memory, but maybe not 😉

OK – this brought me out of retirement.
How can you forget:
