SH: The people drawihng these maps are far from clueless bureaucrats diddling around from a thousand miles away. That they’re being proffered by the Washington Institute–a pro-Israeli organization–should further suggest the legitimacy of their origin.
Israel is going to have to give up land. The Palestinians are going to have to give up an actual ‘right of return’. Jerusalem is going to have to be re-split. If not, then welcome to another half-century of needless bloodshed on both sides of the borders.

That I agree with, But we have already seen Obama has his own ideas of what the Middle East should look like. Israel would be better off to wait till Obama is out of office before working on peace. I don’t think Obama is going to take the public lecture by Netanyahu in good spirits.

On the theme of “primers” I highly recommend Yaacov Lozowick’s series of photo essays called “Don’t divide Jerusalem” (whether or not one agrees with his conclusion).
