Robert Fisk on the middle east wars

[Magda Hassan]

So why on earth would Syria, or anyone, accept Israel as a state?

In actual fact it is accepted as a de facto state by its neighbours. And more importantly it is accepted by Palestinians. They know that the Jewsh people are not going anywhere. Well some are because they don't want to live there if they can avoid it. But the majority of them will be staying on because they don't have any where to go and it is up to three generation for most families now and roots have grown. This is accepted, perhaps reluctantly, but understood on a human level. But it is not accepted that the Palestinians will have their future denied. Unfortunately it is not just Israel who have been denying them that but the corrupt leadership of their Arab brothers as well.

I think only a bi-national one state solution with right of return for all will save both people but in the end we need a world with out any borders.
