Did the Palestinians miss another opportunity for peace????

I think more details will leak out about what the Israelis offered...
Israel's outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Sunday that his government had been ready to sign a peace deal with the Palestinians but that they had lacked the courage to do so.

"The peace negotiations with the Palestinians had made a big step forward and were more interesting and deeper than any talks held in the past by any government, including (then premier, now outgoing Defence Minister) Ehud Barak at Camp David (in the United States in 2000)," Olmert said.

"The fact that we haven't reached one (a peace agreement) so far is due to the weakness and lack of courage on the part of the Palestinian leaders," he told the weekly cabinet meeting, likely to be one of his last.

"We were ready to sign a peace deal but the Palestinians unfortunately did not have the courage to do so," he said.

Amazing how, in an age of information and communication, actual truth and facts aren't worth a plugged nickel.

Lorne Gunter has another great column today.
