If this conflict involved only Palestine and Israel, it would be one thing, but refugees from this conflict are in nearly ever country in the Middle East. Giving back just Gaza and Sumaria, would not be enough land for all of the refugees to retun home, let alone to have a decent life. Israel is counting on their military "might" to bully the agreement, they are also counting on the U.S. to back them up. I think perhaps they should both look to Lebanon, Iraq, Viet Nam, the Soviets in Afghanistan and the NATO forces there now, and realize that might is not enough. Right is what makes an army strong and will always, eventually, win out in the end. Abbas is right.
