the key phrase here is 'land swaps'.  any map that stands a chance of being acceptable to a large portion of Israelis is going to be as much land swaps as it is 67 borders, but anything is going to be a tough sell.  I can't believe they would let the country be so thin at Tel Aviv or give up the Golan Heights.  I'm afraid this is just giving Palestinians an unrealistic idea of what a peace deal would be like.

Who said anything about including the Golan Heights in Palestine? That dispute is with Syria, no? Huh
and the West Bank was previously Jordan, no?

Among many other differences, Syria actually wants Golan back, while obtaining the West Bank is the stuff of Jordanian nightmares.

To be honest, the Golan dispute is one that I see "remaining unresolved" as being in everyone's best interests for the time being, and I would separate it from the West Bank/Gaza issue.

At what point of a history of 60 years of being slaughtered could a credible Palestinian leader have advocated a Ghandiesque approach?
How does a population more than triple during 60 years of slaughter?  Is it your ignorance that causes you to say something this stupid, or are you lying on purpose for some reason?

The same way any population rises: lots and lots of f**king.
