(Jerusalem Post) - Aaron Mannes Abu Mazen was an attractive alternative to Arafat because of his long commitment to pursuing negotiations with Israel, but there is a catch. Abu Mazen does not actually differ from Arafat on any major position. Abu Mazen insists on the right of millions of Palestinian refugees to return to Israel which would swamp Israel demographically, and Israel's complete withdrawal to the pre-1967 borders. He denies that there was ever a Jewish Temple at the Temple Mount, the holiest site of the Jewish people, although he states that he would guarantee the right of Jews to pray there. Most tellingly, Abu Mazen lauded Arafat's rejection of prime minister Ehud Barak's August 2000 offer at Camp David (considered by most Israelis to be the absolute limit of Israeli concessions), saying it "was a trap by all standards and we managed to get out of it." 2003-06-05 00:00:00Full Article
