"Activists present a detailed vision of peace in the region" by Karin Laub, Associated Press | September 16, 2009

TEL AVIV - Israeli and Palestinian activists yesterday unveiled the most detailed vision yet of what a peace deal could look like - more than 400 pages crammed with maps, timetables for troop withdrawals, and even a list of weapons a nonmilitarized Palestine would be barred from having.
While Israel is armed to the teeth with AmeriKan weapons, huh?
The manual has no official standing, but has generated interest among Israeli and Palestinian leaders and is meant to show it’s still possible to establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel, despite many setbacks, said those involved in the drafting....
I don't think so:

Here is the only solution: Memory Hole: Future Vision of Israel
Drawing a border between Israel and Palestine would require building bridges, tunnels, and border terminals inside Jerusalem. About 100,000 Jewish settlers would have to be removed from their homes.
No they won't; Israel is keeping all settlements.
For now, Israeli and Palestinian leaders aren’t talking....
a nongovernmental attempt to show that peace is possible....
Only without an Israel.
Israeli officials said the Palestinians planned their own presentation at a later time, but it appeared the Palestinians also wanted to avoid giving the impression their government endorses the plan.
Well, WHICH GOVERNMENT would THAT BE? The LEGITIMATELY-ELECTED HAMAS, or the USURPING Zionist stooges Fatah?
And the document still does not have a detailed chapter on the fate of Palestinian refugees and their millions of descendants, one of the key issues facing peacemakers. The Palestinian team leader, Nidal Foqaha, said the issue was simply still too sensitive.
Then we are GOING NOWHERE HERE!
This is JUST a PIECE of Zionist PR passing as "news," nothing more!
The core of the plan is a Palestinian state in nearly 98 percent of the West Bank, all of the Gaza Strip, and the Arab-populated areas of Jerusalem. The plan was put together over the past two years by Israeli and Palestinian specialists, former government officials, and ex-negotiators. It builds on the 50-page outline of a peace deal published in 2003 by the same group, known as the Geneva Initiative.
You saw the map, right?
