M: "Palestinians have not made a SINGLE concession."

Legally, the Arabs have a right to claim everything up to the Partition Line for their Arab State.

That would make that Arab State twice as big as one based on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

In 1993 they agreed that they would press for a state based ONLY upon the West Bank and the Gaza Strip i.e. they conceded then and there fully 50% of the territory that is rightfully theirs in order to gain an final agreement that would lead to statehood.

Israel said "thank you very much" and then refused to allow a Palestinian state.

The only concession has come from the Pals - and it was HUGE - and in return they got shafted by Israel.

Stop pretending otherwise.
