from Ross' book:-
"Aaron (Miller) was always arguing for a just and fair proposal... that the Palestinians were entitled to 100 percent of the territory. Swaps should thus be equal... on the basis that every other Arab negotiating partner had gotten 100 percent. Why should the Palestinians be different? I disagreed."
Sounds reasonable to me. If Israel was to get 4-6% of the West Bank, why shouldnt the Palestinians get 4-6% of Israel? Why should Israel get paid at double rates?
The proposal was fundamentally inequitable. I certainly see no basis for why the Security Council should adopt it.
