Sir Max Hastings on Israel and the Palestinians

In The Spectator:

"The Israelis seem to deserve President Bush's support in rejecting any Palestinian 'right of return' inside Israel's pre-1967 borders. But Bush's behaviour has given new impetus to the Jewish settlement movement in a way that appals many Israeli moderates. They recognise a choice between a possibility of peace and a large chunk of the West Bank, and know that they cannot have both."
