It included the right to return, which unfortunately is a practical impossibility. It was therefore dead in the water, and as most such resolutions are, just a international relations game. | |

| Aug 12, 2013 at 8:57 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | From the Triangle - 'The following year, Egypt, Syria and Jordan “informed the United States that they would sign peace treaties with Israel as part of an overall Middle East settlement" [New York Times '77] & 'In January 1976, the U.S. was compelled to veto a UN Security Council Resolution calling for a settlement in terms of the international consensus, which now included a Palestinian state...The resolution was backed by Egypt, Syria, Jordan) the PLO, and the USSR. Presumably this settlement was not calling for the destruction of Israel. | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 8:19 | comment | added | Lennart Regebro | Yes, but do we know if the "for years" claim was there in 1983? If Chomsky claims things like that, this is complete and utter baloney. PLO and most of the Arab regimes was in 1983 still completely bent on getting rid of Israel. Egypt was the exception, but only since 1978 withe Camp David accords (also helped along by the US, also showing that the claim that the US wanted war in the region is complete BS). | |

| Aug 12, 2013 at 5:52 | comment | added | Lennart Regebro | The book says they have been accommodating Israel "for years" in 1998. However, the book you refer to above was written in 1989. How many years? Is that claim even relevant? No, and I'll expand on why in an answer. | |
