1948 repeatedly started wars to grab territory


because Muslims want to kill all Jews.

That's a perfect view into your warped view of the ME

Yeah, Israel started the 1967 war to grab land. Yep, it was completely unprovoked

A Muslim who wants to wipe Israel off the map was just given the opportunity to spew his venom at the UN last week.

And whether you care to believe it, there ARE many Muslims who want to kill all the Jews. One of their representative parties won the election in Gaza.

Speaking of Gaza,how does Israel ceding land there fit in with your expansionist ideas there?? How does ceding land in the Gaza and the West Bank fit your scenario??

Hint: it doesn't but you continually parrot the memes from decades ago despite a changing reality

What about the serious proposal put forth at Oslo that had Israel ceding much land to buy peace??? The Arabs backed out

There will be no peace till the Arabs get over their irrational desire for Israel to go away

How about you, are you a holocaust denier like seabass?

No, I won't call you a self loathing Jew. I think your defining category is macho posturing closet case

JERUSALEM (AP) - A confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday that his government would support a division of Jerusalem, which is reportedly a key component of an Israeli-Palestinian declaration to be made at a U.S.-sponsored Mideast peace conference next month.

As part of recent negotiations between the sides, Deputy Vice Prime Minister Haim Ramon has proposed turning over many of the Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Ramon said the Palestinians could establish the capital of a future state in the sector of the city, which Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast war.

In return, Israel would receive the recognition of the international community, including Arab states, of its sovereignty over Jewish neighborhoods and the existence of its capital there, Ramon said.

On Monday Ramon said even hawkish elements of Olmert's coalition, like Cabinet Minister Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu Party, would back such an Israeli concession. The centrist Labor Party would also support the proposal, Ramon said.

"There are two central parties that agree to this," Ramon told Army Radio. "The most important thing is to preserve the state of Israel Jewish and democratic."

Under his proposal, neighborhoods in east Jerusalem where about 170,000 Palestinians live would be transferred to Palestinian sovereignty, Ramon said.

But Israel would not transfer control of the Holy City and neighborhoods around it to the Palestinians, he said. He did not elaborate but media reports have said that he has proposed Israel relinquish some sovereignty in the area that contains the most contentious sites in the 60-year-conflict.
