re: #187 Kosh’s Shadow

He might not advocate for the Arabs’ return, but the Saudi “peace” plan has that slightly disguised within it, which is why no Israeli administration will accept it as anything more than a starting point for negotiation, and why the Saudis insist the Israelis accept it unconditionally.Item 1 in the plan refers to UN resolutions that REQUIRE any entity to accept refugees from that area who want to return.
Item 4 in the plan says “Any Palestinian repatriation must take into account the special circumstances of the Arab nations.” Translation - the Arabs aren’t taking them.

If Friedman doesn’t understand that, he either is an idiot or looking at it through such rose colored glasses that they are opaque.

I agree 100%. However, as I said in 199 above, if the plan were otherwise acceptable, this could be eliminated. It seems to me, this alone wouldn’t be the sticking point for the Arabs.
