MOE, I`m looking at that map, and I see that 5% of the West Bank becomes "Israeli sovereign territory".

I see, oh, somewhere between 33% and 50% of the West Bank becomes "Palestinian sovereign territory".

I see the rest - anywhere from 50% to 75% - remaining as "Palestinian Autonomous Areas".

That`s a winner, in your books, is it?

Considering what Israel did to the "Palestinian Autonomous Areas" when Sharon got pissed with Arafat and launched Operation Defensive Shield then, so sorry, I can`t say that this would lead to a *viable* Palestinian state.

It would only lead to a future Operation Defensive Shield.

And another.

And another.

And another.
