In other words, Israel can shyst the Palestinians into having to accept much less.

A sidenote: the timing of the release of these poll results by the ADL is impeccable. Witness all of the damning stories about Israel that have come out in the last few days. Coincidence? Highly doubtful. The Hasbara must go on.

05-14-07 - "We can be a benevolent superpower", interview with Jimmy Carter that's the most accurate word that describes what's going on in Palestine.

Good luck. Nobody is willing to recognize wholesale theft (except maybe the AIPAC-beholden US government, and that will change one day).
05-14-07 - Unlikely ally at West Bank checkpoints A 50-year-old Palestinian woman in a black hijab wants to harvest her fields on the other side of the checkpoint, but the soldiers won't allow her to pass. Before the dispute escalates, two Israeli women rush forward, asking if they can help.

Supremacism.
05-14-07 - Israel joins nuclear terror initiative Israel will become a partner nation of the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism, the U.S. State Department said. Hypocrisy.
