Both claims are entirely inconsistent with the truth. Before the end of his term in office, Ehud Barak made the most comprehensive and progressive offer ever made to the Palestinians addressing both Palestinian refugees and the status of Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority claims there are 5 million such refugees. A simple exercise in addition clears Israel's objection to the resettlement of these refugees in Israel. If such settlement takes place, Israel will become a Palestinian State rather than the state for the Jewish People.
International law provides for a two-state solution.
Anyone who supports the full right of return for all the Palestinian refugees obviously does not recognize Israel's right to exist. He offered to accept 200,000 Palestinian refugees over a period of five years on a humanitarian basis. The Palestinian leadership flatly rejected the Israeli offer, presenting no counter proposal. Mr. Burrows goes on to highlight Mr. Kowalson's alleged ignorance of the conflict. From his response, it is clear to me that Mr. Burrows knows his Middle East.
