He's obviously feeling left out and unimportant, so he's doing a politicians version of jumping up and down and screaming look at me, look at me! Well Ehud, we're all looking and it's not a pretty sight.
He starts off reminding us of his offer he put on the table back in September 2008. He writes, "The parameters of a peace deal are well known and they have already been put on the table. I put them there in September 2008 when I presented a far-reaching offer to Mr. Abbas." Now wait a second Ehud, if you have the best solution to the ever-lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and you already laid it out 3 years ago, why do you think all of a sudden now it's going to be accepted by both parties if it was already rejected the first time you tried it?
Anyways, the wizard of peace continues, "According to my offer, the territorial dispute would be solved by establishing a Palestinian state on territory equivalent in size to the pre-1967 West Bank and Gaza Strip with mutually agreed-upon land swaps that take into account the new realities on the ground." Okay that's not too crazy, but wait until you read what the wizard of peace wrote next.
"The city of Jerusalem would be shared. Its Jewish areas would be the capital of Israel and its Arab neighborhoods would become the Palestinian capital. Neither side would declare sovereignty over the city’s holy places; they would be administered jointly with the assistance of Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United States."
Are you kidding me? We will be forced to get on our hands and knees and beg some Jordanian official every time we want to daven at the Kossel? Or have some Saudi Arabian official decide who's holly enough to go to the Kossel?
All I can say is, thank G-d he isn't the prime minister any more. And judging by the last election where the right wing blocks won the majority, I think most Israelis agree with me.
