I'm glad you didn't deny it.
I think it was nine to five.
He should have done that. International law would put a real constraint on him. Once he accepted, it was over.
Just as a factual matter, he wasn't such a stickler. when they asked him how many refugees, the numbers... It was the principle rather than the numbers. The principle. He said I would be pragmatic about it. Yes, and the numbers that were used at Annapolis... were between 100 and 250,000 refugees over 10 years. That was the number.
Arafat, when he was asked at Camp David, he kept saying, I care about the Lebanese, the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, which came to about 300,000.
which was a large concession from, whether you accept the number or not, that he wasn't talking about 6 million. He was talking about between 100 and 250,000 over 10 years. Now, the best offer that came from the Palestinians, excuse me, the best offer that came from Israel was the Olmert offer.
What is binding? Do you know anything about how the UN system works?
You just throw out words. You hear binding. Does 242 mention a Palestinian state? No, of course not. That's part of the problem. That was the reason why the Palestinians didn't want to recognize 242, because they're only referred at the very end.
Allow me points of information. The first principle in UN Resolution 242 is that the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force.
It may be meaningless to you, Mr. Brunel. It was meaningless to everyone in the region. Mr. Brunel, That principle was adopted by the Friendly Nations Resolution, the UN General Assembly in 1970. That resolution was then reiterated in the International Court of Justice ruling advisory opinion in 2004.
That was the basis of the coalition against Iraq when it acquired Kuwait and then declared it a province of Kuwait, which supported. That's what's cool. That's what I did. I'm not going to go there. I'm not going to go there. It's not accurate that Arafat endorsed. OK, I'm not going to go there. OK.
It's called under international law, use Kogan's or peremptory norms of international law, the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war. That is not controversial. It's not vague. You couldn't put it more succinctly. You cannot acquire territory by force under international law. On the West Bank before 67. Who opened the Gaza Strip before 67?
But now, don't change the subject. If you don't know what you're talking about, at least have the humility. You talk about Chapter 6. You don't know Chapter 6 from Tweet 5. You have no idea what you're talking about. It's just so embarrassing. At least have some humility.
Between us, we've read maybe 10,000 books on the topic and you've read two Wikipedia entries and you start talking about chapter six. Do you know what chapter seven is? You know what chapter seven is?
Because they haven't been enforced because of the U.S. veto.
Wait, wait, wait. Okay. If I may. You know what, Professor Morris? Professor Morris, because of your logic, and I'm not disputing it, That's why October 7th happened. Oh, my God. Because there was no options left for those people. Exactly what Muin said.
What's the option for? Oh, listen to this. Mr. Cornell is now an expert on Palestinian mentality. You're contradicting yourself. I only deal with the facts. I only deal with the facts. Egypt did not.
They accepted two states in 1975.
With all due respect.
I just said there are 15,000 pages on Annapolis.
