Barak's generous offer revisited

A couple of days ago former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, was given space in the Guardian to set out his vision for Middle East peace.
The Palestinians, for their part, are expected to acknowledge that Israel will remain predominantly Jewish and that the major blocs of settlements will not be removed.
Here's a response:
"No Israeli government can, should or needs to remove the major settlement blocs." Not Ariel Sharon, but Ehud Barak (Trust is built on realities, April 12). No wonder the still unpublished 2000 Taba peace map led nowhere.
