Hamas is rejecting it right out, because it does basically admit territory loss.

But I think it would be pragmatic of them to accept these borders. If only Israel could honor them, Israel seems to be the one who is constantly encroaching on Palestine's borders. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SuWj78FOpXA/ToKyE4z3ILI/AAAAAAAAHH4/9PyFkzug8Mk/s1600/israel-palestine_map.jpg

I think this is why Palestine won't sign it, because they know they're giving up claims to certain territory if they do, and then there's also a long history of Israel not honoring border agreements. So they know it's just a stopgap to legitimize the next stage of conquest.

However at this point, I think they need to play ball a little bit. Just saying "no, we'll never work with you ever" puts both of them in a terrible position, imo. But the Palestinian leaders are probably tired of being taken for fools at this point.

Tough situation.

Hamas is probably a controlled opposition.

Poignant to both sides...

Seems like palestine is cut in several small pieces barely patched together :o

Yes, if it was a game of Go, it would be almost over.

Yeah, after the Likudniks ethniclly cleanse Palestinians for their Greater Israel project. They slowly just take more and more land from the Palestinians becuase their population is growing.

Doesnt appear to give Palestine its pre 1967 borders so I'm not surprised they rejected it

But at this point that's a very tough sell to any potential supporters (which they need)... especially after all the Israeli settlements.

It makes about as much sense as Taiwan claiming all of China still. It's more of a bargaining chip than a real thing they expect to happen.

I dont think Israel ever actually planned to share the land, and we should see a further expansion soon, of course with US support and the zionists

Just helicopter the Palestinians to Jordan where they belong and then nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

rejected before it was released, mind.

the deal is designed to be unacceptable, but appealing to internet twats who don't understand the issues and like to have an opinion on everything (like me).

How long would it take the world to forgive israel for killing every last palestinian? It must be their end game plan

Why doesn't Israel just start conquering pieces of Syria, Egypt and Lebanon? They need lebensraum.
