speaking of which, Netanyahu's big speech* from Bar-Ilan (location says everything). the rundown; "support" for a Palestinian state but no right of return (which, let's admit, will never happen in a way that matters), a united Jerusalem, it has to be totally demilitarized. so, nothing. oh, & a demand that they recognize Israel as "the state of the Jewish people". sure, that's forthcoming. plus some stuff about Israel's economy.
