To the Editor:

  Before PM Netanyahu's words are taken at face value, they should be weighed against the historic record. Israel's pre-1967 borders have been battle-tested and defended. To now call them "indefensible" as he does it to defy logic. It's now nine years since Sari Nusseibeh and Danny Ayalon sketched what a two-state peace agreement will look like. What they couldn't tell us was how to get there. It increasing looks like that will require not only the death of Arafat, but also the retirement of Netanyahu.
