Israel-Palestine-Jordan

Mubarak says time is right for Arab-Israeli peace

2009-06-20

[Al Arabiya Latest] President Barack Obama's "reassertion" of U.S. leadership in the Middle East offers a rare opportunity to get peace between Israel and the Palestinians, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said.

He said if Israel took "serious steps" toward peace with the Palestinians, the Arab world would do the same.

In an editorial in The Wall Street Journal on Friday, Mubarak said Obama was willing to take a lead in achieving peace and the Arab world would reciprocate. "A historic settlement is within reach, one that would give the Palestinians their state and freedom from occupation while granting Israel recognition and security to live in peace," wrote Mubarak.

#1 Exactly. All the Israelis have to do is grant the Palestinians EVERYTHING they demand, including going back to 1967 borders, the "right of return", and anything else the Palestinians can think of, and there will be peace.
At least until the Palestinians can think of something else they want, like 40 acres and a mule, or compensation for all the pain, suffering and humiliation the Israelis supposedly heaped on them since 1948.
Of course, if the Israelis were kind enough to dig their own graves, and lie down in them, and then die, there would definitely be peace. Maybe Jimmy Carter could suggest that. It should be worth another Nobel Peace Prize.
