>>My reading is that Isreal would relinquish all of the land to pre-1967 status except Jerusalem, and that a deal might be makeable regarding a part of that.
>>BUT the sticking point I hears is the "right of return" which, as I understand it, refers to Palestinians' right to return to their (former) homes at the time of Isreal's creation.

>I do not think that Israel will do this. Why? Remember, former Prime Minister Barak offered the Palestinians everything the wanted except the Temple Mount. They (the Paalestinians) refused to take what was the sweetest deal they had ever been offered. IOW, the PLO simply does not want peace with Israel; they want its eradication and always have.

That is exactly what my original point was in my first reply to the other thread on this. IMO, Barak did this to prove the PLO's goal is not peace but eradication. He proved it at the cost of his PM position, but has revealed Arafat for who he really is and believes. The Nobel Peace Prize he won in the 90s is a total joke.
