re: #1 Romantic Heretic

Immediately following thew war, Israel offered all the land back in exchange for peace.

The offer was refused.

To this day, the three predicates to peace in the region as agreed to by the UN, NATO, Quartet, et al, are as follows;

Cessation of acts of terror.
Diplomatic recognition of Israel.
Secure borders.

Which of these things are too onerous a burden for the Palestinians or Arab world?
