Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: Bill Clinton: 'I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state' [View all]Little Tich
(6,171 posts)could you please explain how the areas transferred to Israel wouldn't cause logistical problems for Palestinian communities and hamper their expansion? What I want to know most, is in what direction East Jerusalem could expand, and how Ramallah, Jericho and Betlehem could connect with it and form a viable economic entity? The thing is that they could do that without the swaps, but there's a lot of white stuff between them on the map.
And would the land swaps from Israel be able to alleviate any problems caused by the land swaps from Palestine?
You know, there's a nagging suspicion that the Israelis would have given land that was of lesser value for land the Palestinians needed for a viable state. Explain how the Clinton parameters weren't a scam that favored Israel...
In a way, this isn't really interesting, it's just that Bill Clinton maintains he didn't try to scam the Palestinians while he obviously did so. This belongs to the dung heap of history, and has nothing to do with current events and the French peace initiative, which seems to be aimed at being fair to everyone.
