...Here come BBSNews, Swiss (Dino), Maureen Ann, Nattalie Durson, Chris Linthwaite, Roo, Clickfool, and the rest of the Klan... But it will do you all no good. The only reason to state that Palestinians need not recognize Israel as a Jewish State before talks is that everyone knows that no such recognition could/would ever happen. And, therefore, a so-called 2-State solution remains a fantasy. To Israel, this makes no difference at all. To Arabs, and talback`s Israel-bashers, it means back to square one.
