Donald Sherwood said "our eyes are on Camp David, and the focus is on various details, 90 percent, 92 percent, this or that concession. And I think it is important for us to take a step back and to look at the entire panoply. The discussion is land for peace. This is the first time in recorded history when the land for peace equation has meant that the country that has won the wars has been asked to concede land. Mr. Speaker, never has there been such extraordinary love of peace as we see in the people of Israel, willing to make concessions after they have won four wars of defense. We should also note that half the Jewish population of Israel are themselves refugees from Arab states, from Yemen and Iran and from other Islamic countries. There is not even the slightest discussion that these Jewish refugees will receive any compensation. We must admire Israel's love of peace." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
