By Aluf Benn and Barak Ravid : Olmert offered to withdraw from 93% of West Bank
Talkback
Title:93%? Let`s DO THE MATH Here! 1947:43.43%. 2009:93% Of What?
Name:U.S. Pal Defender
City: State: United States
The way this land was divided...even under the UN Partition Resolution (Resolution 181)...was flawed from the start. It was a recipe for anger/dissatisfaction...on the Palestinian side:

The Jewish State was given 56.47% of the land.

The Palestinian State was given 43.53% of the land.

KEEP In Mind--

That when the Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917...the Palestinian Muslims & Christians were the majority...and were around 400,000 in number (UN sources).

So--

Who would ever call the above partition FAIR...based on this?

ADDed To This/Other Losses--

Israel can`t even see how ridiculous it is to offer them 93% of the West Bank..."today?"

Israel--

Want the Palestinians to bear the penalty/corrective measure...to accommodate the settlements that ISRAEL decided to build...AGAINST international law AND decent, universally accepted principles.

So--

Who`s supposed to jump for joy about this?
