Hey Tariq,
Apparently it is alright for you to go back to a statement made 86 years
ago by Ben Gurion to prove a point while completely ignoring the fact
that Mario Goveia was talking about Israel's in today's context. When
Mario said that the PLO charter doesn't recognise Israel--a claim that
wasn't disputed even 10 years ago--you were very quick to bring him up
to date, per your understanding of Oslo. (I do believe that Mario is
correct, though--Yasser Arafat acknowledged the existence of Israel in
the accords, but that did not change the PLO charter.)
