Mr. Barghouti is only interested in peace IF the Palestinians receive satisfaction on ALL of their demands. More rational people of the world know that, in negotiations, neither side gets everything it wants. The fact that he (and his fellow negotiators) start(s) from such an inflexible position predicts an unhappy result.
He also was very honest that he is not religious, refusing participation in a multi-religious discussion group. One question, Mr. Barghouti, and please be honest: what percentage of Palestinians do you believe you represent? 20-35%? maybe. Remember, Yasser Arafat was proposed a deal with Pres. Clinton of up to 97% of the land and he REFUSED!!!!!
