Reply #78: Fine. So let's say that he's a one state anti-Israel rejectionist,

though I seem to remember him wanting right of return in some of the Times and Bruin articles. Either way, nothing that he wants is the path to peace. The cause of this war from day one has been Palestinian rejection of the Jews' right to a state of their own. Whether they now want to end Israel's existence by right return or by creating one Arab majority state, they are still rejecting the Jewish people's right to a state. Makdisi and his ilk haven't changed in over 60 years. Until there is a real change in Palestinian thinking, then there won't ever be peace. You write about the Palestinians being frustrated, and i mentioned that the Israelis are frustrated too. Well one of the things that they are frustrated about is that apparently, Palestinian hostility to the Jewish state's existence hasn't abated one iota, and all of their supposed protestations of peaceful intent may be just so much air. That's why I hope that Makdisi thoughts aren't held by most Palestinians. If they are, it means nothing has changed, and nothing may ever change.
