Exactly. The PLO exchanged letters with Israel, they agreed at Oslo, and they signed it on the White House lawn.
But neither Oslo or the letters expressly state that the PLO accepts Israel as a Jewish national state. Neither does this prisoners document.
This is just a reiteration of the Palestinians maximalist demands. They want Israel to completely withdraw all settlers and forces behind the old Green Line, and then negotiate. Stupid non-starter and of course, nothing new.
The only good thing about this is that it is creating internal Palestinian dialogue. It is, in part, an attempt by Abbas and the PLO to marginalize Hamas. It does not contain anything important to the Israelis, really, it is mostly for internal consumption and thus must contain nothing controversial. Abbas wants this to pass a referendum so he can claim a mandate to speak for the Palestinians. That is all that will come of this, if anything.
Disagree.
This is worth its weight in Gold in propaganda value.
Concurring with the author, the Media and World governments- including unfortunately the United States- will announce that again (the media will not say again, but), the "Palestinians" accept Israel. If Israel would only do a few things there would be Peace for All Time in the Mideast.
Ignored would be that those few things include Israel's suicide.
Israel will, of course, refuse. Israel will be the bad guy. Systematic blame, threats and boycotts of Israel will gather momentum.
