(Here’s something to take into consideration the next time a Palestinian leader is quoted uncritically in the Western press expressing outrage that Israel – where Arabs make up a full 20% of the population – is trying “Judaize” parts of the country.)
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas revealed his version of his contacts with Israel during the Olmert government and his basic principles for a political agreement. On July 28, as reported by the Palestinian WAFA news service, he told journalists in Cairo:
“I’m willing to agree to a third-party that would supervise the agreement, such as NATO forces, but I would not agree to having Jews among the NATO forces, or that there will live among us even a single Israeli on Palestinian land.”
(This JCPA report represents the kind of critical context you simply will never get from the writers at The Guardian.)
Note:
Israel, you may want to ask questions about the intentions of the Palestinians before sitting down and agreeing to a Palestinian State within the "Land of Israel". This is typical of the Muslim thought-process -which is why they have nothing to show for all their hatred.
