Further to your second citation, I agree wholeheartedly. However, you can't heal the past by refusing to acknowledge what took place. The peace plan was already in place after the Oslo agreement in 1993.

But like Olmert and Nasser's plan, it was sabotaged by extreme elements on both sides. This is how Israel got Sharon and Netanyahu, two warhawks who cut their teeth in the post-Six Day War period where some hardliners began arguing for "Greater Israel."

Much like Nakba denialism, Greater Israel is something few acknowledge when talking about "they want to destroy Israel and wipe us out!" Israel not only had similar plans, they came close to carrying them out.
