He is wrong on a fewpoints:
Israel pre-emptively attacked in 1967. It was not a defensive war.
Israel in the pre-emptive attack did wreck one of our clearly marked ships whilee the ship was in international waters.
Israel's occupation of the captured areas has been brutal by any reasonable standard.
The offers Israel made were in the context of continued, and even accelerated, expansion of israeli only settlements.
Sharon did a lot to precipitate the current ugliness with his strumpeting around the temple mount area.
If either side would for just awhile walk a path of reasonableness without assasinating the leader of that walk, so much could be accomplished.
A really big jewish problem in Israel is the fact that in about 20 years, there will be a lot more Palestinians living in the area than jews. demographics are profoundly against the long-term viability of the jewish state.
israel has systematically used the settlements to subdivide the West Bank territories, and to The PLO/Palestinian problems and culpability are huge:
terror training the kids from birth to be willing to commit suicide attacks, a corrupt governance by Arafat, a complete inability to provide baisc services efficiently (water and power).
A lack of real democracy in the palestinian areasa is another big problem.
