AIPAC, Israel, and the Hypocritical Claim of Backing a Two-State Solution

[shira]

23. uh.........what about land for peace? You're saying all you want...

...is for the occupation to end. That the Palestinians wouldn't have to make peace. So with that "freedom" under Jordanian rule, peace would come.........never?

What about the fact that the PLO wanted what was INSIDE the green lines? Remember, Jordan had just kicked the PLO out of Jordan due to Black September before the PLO ended up in Lebanon. They weren't getting along so well. What makes you think Jordan wanted a destablizing Palestinian state across their borders? At least with Israel in control of the WB, Jordan knew they were safe, so long as they didn't stir up shit and send terrorists over the border to go up against the IDF.

Look at Sadat's example. He came to Israel, and announced very clearly before the Knesset that he wanted peace, and the Israelis jumped at the opportunity. Get it? Israel wants peace. They also jumped at Jordan's commitment to peace in 1994. Arafat would have never done that back in the mid 80's.
