Specifically, he did not embrace the U.S. land for peace form-ula or agree to curb settlements, to lift the closure of the Palestinian territor-ies, to withdraw troops from Hebron or the Golan Heights, to meet Yasir Arafat or to recognize Palestinian statehood.
Peace enforcing would involve early warning and possibly acting as a deterrent force in case of Syrian hostile intent, and as a defense force in case of a Syrian attack.
Peace agreements that diminish Israeli military strategic advantage or the presence of surrogate forces such as those of the United States as guarantors of peace are unacceptable alternatives.

 OpinioNet(tm) - Contributed Commentary
Peace is not something that a nation requests from the surrounding nations, that a nation begs or trades for, but rather a right, which an independent state demands.
Therefore, the equation “land for peace” is simply unacceptable to members of this camp, as they see the demand for consideration in exchange for cessation of attacks on Jews as utterly immoral.
Land for peace is, in the eyes of most of the Justification Camp, an incomplete equation, as the cessation of violence against the Jews is essentially the cessation of actions of national liberation.

 Trade for Peace, Not Land for Peace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
All peace efforts are still based on the resumption of the "Oslo process," whereby Israel was supposed to turn over the occupied territories to a Palestinian state; the Palestinians were supposed to renounce their right of return to Israel and everyone was to live happily ever after.
The first was that there was never enough land available to make the proposal acceptable -- not nearly enough to satisfy the passionate possessiveness of all those with claims to it: the Israeli settlers, the Palestinians at home as well as in the diasporas beyond.
For its part, Israel cannot offer the Palestinians enough land to satisfy them, but cannot crush the uprising without repudiating the "peace process." The result is the worst of all worlds: escalating violence with no political resolution in sight and no economic prospects.

 The Peace Encyclopedia: Peace, Peace Treaty
It is now widely seen that peace should be more than the mere absence of war: it should be a positive force that counters violence as a means of resolving the problems of human society.
Thus, peace studies must seek practical means of creating a society without such structural violence, while the goal of peace education should be contributing to the establishment of such a society.
Peace education, then, is directly tied to human rights education aimed at eliminating all forms of prejudice including that against the traditional outcast class in Japan.

The concept of "land for peace" is a totally new one in the history of the world.
Thus, while the concept of "land for peace" is a brand-new one, the concept that to the victor belong the spoils is as old as history itself and had really never been questioned before the days of the Israel-Arab conflict.
Every inch of land held by the Arabs is considered "holy Arab soil" and its possession by the "infidels" (Christians or Jews) is inadmissible, intolerable, a blasphemy and a case for "jihad" (holy war).

 July 27 2000
Any discussion of what is called a "peace process" -- whether the one underway at Camp David or any other -- should keep in mind the operative meaning of the phrase: by definition, the "peace process" is whatever the US government happens to be pursuing.
In brief, the "peace mission" was a "last-ditch effort" to block peace and mobilize Congress to support the "unlawful use of force" for which the US had recently been condemned by the World Court.
With these measures, the "peace process" has advanced towards the Bantustan-style arrangements that the US and Israel intended, as should have been obvious to anyone with eyes open, and is entirely clear in the documentary record and, more important, the record on the ground.

 Land for Peace
The most discerning of those who never trusted the formula “Land for Peace”, which was the basis of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians these seven years, is the former Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Peace is not in the interest of Arafat since a peaceful Palestine would lead to demands for democracy and the end of the corruption now practiced by the so-called Palestinian Authority.
And so, the “peace process” has been exposed for what it always was - a one sided capitulation of Israel to all Palestinian demands.

The land was subsequently partitioned illegally by the British, granting Arabs the territory of Trans-Jordan (now the Hashimite Kingdom) amounting to 32,460 sq.
Somehow, the land that the Arab authorities usurped from the Jews when they were forced to leave "Arab lands" after 1948 is conveniently forgotten.

 Mon, 15 Jul 1996: Op-Ed: Has "Land for Peace" Worked?
First, the phrase is intuitively irritating, because of an asymmetry: Land is tangible and very hard to regain once given away; peace is an airy entity, which, once given, can always be taken back.
In other words, Israel has peaceful relations with Jordan, to which it has given no land; a troubled nonbelligerency with Egypt, to which it has given a lot of land; and ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, to whom it has also given land.
Yet surely one expects more from a "process." Even as the dovish Rabin-Peres government was handing over land at a rapid pace, the terror organizations became entrenched in that land, perpetrated slaughter in Israel's streets and were, on account of it, regarded as heroes and saints by Palestinians.

In 1993, without involvement by any American mediator, a group from Norway helped negotiate an Israeli- Palestinian agreement that provided for peaceful coexistence, step-by-step withdrawal by Israel from the occupied territories and then negotiations to resolve the issues of final boundaries, the control of Jerusalem, and the return (or compensation) of Palestinians living in exile.
This led to a free election of Palestinian leaders in 1996 and to a peace agreement between Israel and Jordan.

The 1979 L-f-P (withdrawal from the whole of Sinai) yielded a peace treaty with Egypt, which still conducts official anti-Jewish/Israel hate-education, facilitates Palestinian terrorism, incites against Israel at the UN and prepares its military to overwhelm Israel.

Asked, decades ago, when peace would ever come to her region, she answered: "We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us." That time has not yet come.
The hapless Ehud Barak, incapable of admitting that the "peace process" has blown up in his face and brought his country to the brink of ruin, might well emulate the example and absorb the wisdom of Golda Meir, who used to be called the only man in the Israeli cabinet.
When the PLO terrorist organization called Black September murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic games, she did not ask the American president to arrange a summit at which Arafat could be rewarded for his heroic deeds, but gave orders to execute justice upon every one of the murderers.

The conflict this time would be triggered not by remnants of the Taliban and al Qaeda but by ordinary citizens questioning the credibility of the government, said Miloon Kothari, a special "rapporteur" appointed by the world body.
Kothari said, land cleared in a violent manner by evictions "is primarily being allocated to ministers of the transitional government."
"All the property dealing by the ministers was illegal and illicit and the land should be taken back from the ministers by the government," he said.

 A Durable Peace? Not With Arafat
Even if peace talks were to resume, the land-for-peace deal that's currently envisioned will do absolutely nothing to bring stable, long-term peace to the region.
Either Arafat can't control the bombers, in which case it is not possible for him to uphold a promise of peace, or he can control the bombers and is allowing them to attack, in which case he's a liar and a terrorist.
This is exactly what the Palestinian leadership wants; peace is not their ultimate goal, the destruction of Israel is. A land-for-peace deal would be a transient victory for the Palestinians in their quest to chip away at the state of Israel until it is so small that it can no longer defend itself.

Annan, a co-sponsor of the “road map” Middle East peace plan, also said he was encouraged by the prospects for a settlement and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon still supported the internationally-backed blueprint.
“I think the issue really is land for peace and eventually Israel will have to give up land to make that peace possible,” he told reporters when questioned about Sharon’s announcement that 17 Gaza settlements would be evacuated.
Sharon, however, is considering whether to ask the United States to agree on a plan to expand West Bank settlement blocs in exchange for a Gaza pullout, his spokesman told AFP in Jerusalem.

Still, the fact that the Saudi leader is talking of making peace in the current atmosphere of increased violence between Palestinians and Israelis is something to talk about.
But Israel would be required to make land concessions similar to those considered at Camp David under former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, concessions that weren't enough to satisfy Yasser Arafat then and left many Israelis feeling that their security had been pawned for prospective Palestinian goodwill.
That might create a climate in which the U.S.-brokered peace plans of former Sen. George Mitchell and CIA Director George Tenet can finally be implemented.
