A quote from today's Washington Post story on Prime Minister Sharon's illness:

His pullout efforts also angered Israel's religious-nationalist movement, whose members he once encouraged to settle in the territories envisioned by Palestinians as part of their state.

'envisioned by Palestinians' - the occupied territories are not 'envisioned' by Palestinians as part of their state, they ARE part of their state - even though they are prevented from forming one.

When as renowned a newspaper as the Washington Post becomes as meally-mouthed as this, what hope is there?
