Kenny,

Yes,I don't see the point either.
It appears that only one of the 3 Canaanite peoples have all the rights to the land.

David,

the statement "there will be one large undivided territory in the West Bank that will be part of Jordan" is a smokescreen,the Zionist is in the detail. Where are those 'settlers' going,they will not have to move will they? You're drawing lines on a map with the cavalier attitude of a 19th century British imperialist.

Jordan was created by Britain in 77% of Palestine - an area within which the reconstitution of the Jewish National Home was designated under the terms of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine.

Israel was created after six Arab armies invaded Western Palestine in 1948 in an attempt to wipe out its Jewish residents.

There appears to me to be a great deal of difference in the circumstances surrounding the creation of Jordan and Israel.

Jews and Arabs Canaanites? The Arabs didn't come to the area until the 7th century AD. Your suggestion that the Jews of the Bible or the Moslems of the Koran are in any way related to or descendants of the idol worshipping Canaanites is ludicrous. Have you seen a Canaanite lately?

The Arabs have already got all the rights to 77% of Palestine in the area of former Palestine that is today called Jordan.

I am not drawing lines on a map. They will be drawn by Israeli and Jordanian negotiators when the day inevitably comes for those face to face negotiations to occur between the two successor states to the Mandate for Palestine. My confidence in this occuring is based on the fact that no other peaceful solution is possible. The only alternative is another war which surely not even you would want to see.

There can be no union of Jordan with "Palestine" because there is no such place as "Palestine". Remember, the Egyptians and Jordan illegally gobbled it up in 1948.

I am suggesting a union of Jordan with a substantial part of the West Bank (about 90%). The West Bank is one of the few areas on this planet where no one has gained internationally recognized sovereignty - it is "no man's land" at the present time and sovereignty to it is being claimed by both Arabs and Jews.

The last Arab country to occupy the West Bank was Jordan between 1948-1967. It attempted to annex the West Bank but its action was only recognized by Great Britain and Pakistan.

In view of the stalemate in negotiations with the Palestinian Authority after 16 years of trying, it is now time to bring Jordan back into the picture to negotiate with Israel the allocation of sovereignty in the West Bank between these two successor States to the Mandate for Palestine.

This is the only realistic and feasible two state solution - A Jewish State -Israel - sovereign in about 20% of the Mandate territory and an Arab State - Jordan- sovereign in about 80% of the Mandate territory.

This can be achieved by the simple expedient of redrawing the boundary between these two existing states in direct face to face negotiations between them. Issues such as water, refugees and Jerusalem have already been covered in the peace agreement Jordan and Israel signed in 1994.

This is a clearly defined path that neither the Road Map, the Arab League Peace Plan or anything uttered by President Obama last week comes even close to matching.

The sooner Jordan and Israel get these negotiations under way the sooner some end will be in prospect to a conflict which has plagued Jews and Arabs for the last 120 years.

So what about the Arabs in Jerusalem? Do they get to stay there as Israelis and as part of their 'new' sovereign territory?

And don't 'Palestinians' want that to be a fairly central part of their 'new' state?

Or did I miss something there?

In his article fromt he January 2009 David Singer is reveiling his ProIsraeli sentiment Hi is advocating ocupation and ethnics clensing and you canot do anything after that..But we did not give to Germany all teritories they hed ocupayed...why to reworde Israel for 60 yr of ethnic clensing..David is probabli payed by Jewish lobby
