Howdy Cyprus Guy;

"If Olmert and the citizens of Israel dont take the Arab Peace Initative seriously, the Palestinians will eventually begin looking to make Israel a bi-national state."

The Arab Ultimatum (Saudi Initiative) has been rejected in its entirety by Israel since it first came out in 2002. The Palestinians can look around all they like, but they cannot unilaterally force Israel to become part of a "binational state" (whatever the hell that means). Israel is a sovereign state and any proposal to reunify the old Mandate (minus Transjordan) would require her independent approval which isn`t going to happen. The Palestinians essentially have two choices: either they accept what they can get for a state or the Divided Palestinian Territories (Fatahland and Hamastan) remain stateless entities. Why would Israel want to merge with 4.1 million hostile aliens who reside in unannexed enemy territory?
