Labor's Peace Plan

Today's Haaretz reports that the Labor party announced its principles for a peace agreement with the Palestinians.

"Labor's plan includes a return to the June 4, 1967 borders, a division of Jerusalem, opposition to the right of return, and building a separation fence on the Green Line," the report states. Labor MK Chaim Ramon is quoted as saying that "nobody can ask us what we stand for, because the answer is provided in this draft."

Indeed, it seems to me that Labor and Ramon stand for nothing. It is not enough for Labor to call for a peace agreement based on Ehud Barak's offer at Camp David or even the Clinton Plan. Those plans kept 4-8 percent of Judea and Samaria under Israeli rule, along with post-1967 Jerusalem neighborhoods. A return to the June 4, 1967 borders by definition means relinquishing every inch of territory captured in 1967.

In contrast, a month before he was murdered, Prime Minister Rabin told the Knesset that "we will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines."
