Israelis 'would do deal on Jerusalem for peace'

Have the Israelis gone mad? Has the devil blinded them so much? Can't they understand that nothing short of their Extinction is going to appease the palis and arabs?

A majority of Israeli Jews are willing to cede East Jerusalem in exchange for a peace deal with the Palestinians, according to an opinion poll yesterday.
The survey for the Tazpit Research Institute found 54 per cent in favour and 36 per cent against the idea of dividing the city between Israelis and Palestinians.
The government of Ariel Sharon, the prime minister who is still in a coma after suffering a stroke, has, like many administrations before, repeatedly said that Jerusalem is non-negotiable and must remain a Jewish-run city because of ancient historic and religious Jewish links with the city.
By contrast the Palestinians have argued that East Jerusalem and the Old City have ancient historic and religious importance for the local Arab population and they have claimed it as their capital.
The dispute was effectively settled in 1967 when Israeli forces took control of all of Jerusalem after two decades when it had been divided into an Israeli sector and an Arab sector, run by Jordanians.
Since then the fate of the city has been one of the most troublesome negotiating points between the two sides.
