"Al-Jazeera TV reports that the Palestinian Authority offered in June 15 of 2008 that Israel annex all settlements in Jerusalem except Har Homa, the first time in history the Palestinians made such a proposal, one that they refused to in Camp David.
Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, also proposed in an October 2009 meeting that Jerusalem's Old City be divided, giving Israel the control over the Jewish Quarter and part of the Armenian Quarter." Ha'aretz Service

Peace was so close, so close... What fool or group of fools threw this chance away? I have been present when the PA made statements nearly as pacific as this but, this is stunning.
Why did the Israelis not take this offer? pl
