Re: Guardian Said obit

["brendan holland" <brendan.holland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rejecting the policy of armed struggle as impermissible - because of the
legacy of the Holocaust and the special conditions of the Jewish people - he
was an early advocate of the two-state solution, implicitly recognising
Israel's right to exist. The policy was adopted at the PNC meeting in
Algiers in 1988.

Supporter of the one state solution whereby Israelis and Palestinians would
live together rather than in two separate countries, Said first denounced
the 1993 Oslo peace agreement between Israel and the PLO as "an instrument
of Arab surrender" and publicly asked for Arafat's resignation......
....Tom Segev in the same paper[Haaretz] recalled Said's fervent opposition
to "terrorist attacks in Israeli cities."
"But he was not against Palestinian attacks against Israeli soldiers," he
wrote.

Can anyone clarify this?
