[Peace] Fwd: Ambassador Dennis Ross

[Al Kagan]

I would put it differently.  The previous Israeli Govt wanted 
"peace," but peace on its terms.  They wanted a bantustan situation 
as under apartheid in South Africa.  They wanted a Palestinian state 
that could be internationally recognized and that would not be viable 
without Israeli control.  Of course, this could never work in the 
long run.  The current Israeli Govt appears to want to reannex the 
whole West Bank and Gaza.
