Noam Chomsky is a brilliant logical writer but let's not let him do all of the thinking for everyone. Noam has a perspective/bias that he puts forth. The past needs to be set aside and people have to deal with the situation and "complaints" of both parties in the now. Arguing about some document that was signed more than 40 years ago and who owned what piece of land is a complete waste of time. The Israeli's are not going to give up land because in their guts they know that if they give an inch the 300 million folks on their borders who all want them stuffed in gas chambers will be in a very weak position. It's never ever ever ever ever going to happen that they give up massive territory. And so Palestine and neighboring states can either figure it out and make an accommodation or be stuck in an endless war. The two sides frankly deserve one another and I'm tired of reading endless self proclaimed experts arguing over minutia as to why Israel is wrong or why Palestine is wrong and who is terrorizing who. Israelies torturing Palestinians and Palestinians strapping bombs on themselves and blowing up Israeli women and children. And both sides fighting to preserve the land of a fictitious God.
