Refusing to Compromise Carries a Price
[Ha'aretz] Aluf Benn - The Palestinians present their case using maps of the Land of Israel showing how Palestinian territory has gradually shrunk. They have forgotten that between the various maps, their leadership turned down offers of partition and decided to go to war - and lost. "The shelf agreement" Olmert is offering is not as good as the "permanent agreement" Prime Minister Barak offered in 2000, mostly because in the meantime the Palestinians lost the second intifada, and Fatah lost Gaza to Hamas. That is the price of failure.
