Where would the proposal to divide Palestine into Jewish and Palestinian states have placed Jerusalem?

Jerusalem would have been a "corpus separatum" completely outside of Israeli and Palestinian jurisdiction and under an internationally led governance. However, after ten years, there would have been a referendum in Jerusalem as to whether it would like to maintain that status quo or join with the Israeli or Palestinian State. Given that it was surrounded on all four sides by the Palestinian State, it seemed likely that Jerusalem would eventually become part of the Palestinian State through this vote.

Quienes fueron los responsables de los atentados a la embajada de Israel y a la AMIA?

En 1992 y 1994, dos bombas devastaron la comunidad judía Argentina en Buenos Aires y marcaron la llegada, por primera vez, del terrorismo medio-oriental en Iberoamérica. El 17 de marzo 1992, 29 personas fueron muertos y 242 heridos cuando una coche-bomba estalló en el embajada israelí en Buenos Aires. El 18 de julio 1994, dos años después del bombardeo del embajada israelí, una bomba estalló adelante del AMIA centro social judío en Buenos Aires, matando a 86 personas mas e hiriendo a cientos. Mientras los dos casos, que son considerados relacionado, ha sido oficialmente puesto bajo investigación para más de diecisiete años, el progreso hecho ha sido pequeño, y los partidos responsables todavía no han sido apreendidos. El presidente argentino Cristina Kirchner se ha negado a definir los ataques como crimenes contra la humanidad ya que esto podría ser girado en contra de varios miembros ex-Montoneros ahora sirviendo en su administración que son ligadas al terrorismo. George Karim Chaya, un periodista y analista político, en 2009 dijo a un grupo de parientes de víctimas del terrorismo de la ala izquierda que ambos ataques fueron realizados por la Hezbolá y los Montoneros. Todos los sospechosos iniciales en el ataque, inclusive policías y ex-carapintadas fueron luego encontrados de no ser culpable en 2004 y el juez federal Juan José Galeano, a cargo del caso, fue acusado de corupcion y fue quitado de su puesto para haber pagado $400.000 a un sospechoso, Carlos Telleldín, para acusar falsamente a policías de haber participado en el ataque.

Where do Israelis vacation?

If you mean in Israel, then in northern Israel in the Golan Heights or the Galilee.

Some also go to the south of Israel near the Red Sea in a city called Eilat. There is

also the Dead Sea also known as the Salt Sea in the center of the country. Finally

people go to the West Coast near Tel Aviv to soak in some rays on the beach or

to go to amusement parks.

If you mean outside of Israel, many Israelis vacation in nearby countries. Many

Israelis used to go to Egypt and Turkey, although recent politics has made these

destinations untenable. They still go to Greece, Italy, and Spain in southern

Europe. Others go to India and Thailand. Still others vacation in the United States

and Canada. Israelis love to travel abroad.

Third contributor:

One of the greatest shocks I ever experienced while traveling on business

happened in the afternoon when I found the restaurant in my hotel closed,

as the staff prepared for a private party that evening. Turned out that the

party was hosted by the local Israeli consul, to celebrate an even-numbered

decade of the reunification of Jerusalem. The invited guests included several

local government officials, and most of the MANY Israeli tourists vacationing

in town. I was staying at the Chingiss Khan hotel, in UlaanBaatar, Mongolia.

Sadly, I was not invited.

What did Ehud Barak offer to the Palestinians that no other Israeli President had offered before?

Firstly, Ehud Barak was a Prime Minister, not a President.

He offered the Palestinians control over the entire Old City of Jerusalem (with a Jewish committee to oversee the Western Wall), something which has never been offered before or since to the Palestinians. This offer, although rejected by the Palestinians, created tremendous furor in Israel, leading to Ehud Barak losing the next election to Ariel Sharon in a landslide.
