Israel would get to keep some land that is currently in the West Bank, and the Palestinians would get an equal amount that is currently in Israel. What's wrong with that? How is that hardline? While we're at it, do you think that the Israeli desire to keep the Old City or any part of it is hardline? I'm trying to get some idea of what you would consider to be a reasonable peace deal, or at least what was unreasonable about Olmert's offer.
