Not true, the Saudi peace deal is on the table. If Israel would withdraw completely to the pre-June 1967 borders, the entire Arab World, as proved at the Arab League summit of March 2002, is prepared to recognize Israel and normalize relations with it. This plan was unanimously accepted by all Arab nations including Palestine and Iraq which was still ruled by Saddam Hussein at the time.
With the entire Arab world's recognition of, and normalization of relations with Israel, and the the end of the Israeli military and colonial presence there, would have taken the steam out of "terrorist" activity. However, Sharon responded to the unanimous vote for the Saudi plan with the vicious, insane, bloodthirsty, and brutal invasion which saw the destruction of the Jenin refugee camps, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and numerous Palestinian buildings and institutions which have nothing to do at all with terrorism. The Palestinian cultural ministry, education ministry, and many other buildings were destroyed. School test and exam results were destroyed, computers, copy machines were destroyed, offices were ransacked, children's paintings were destroyed, and there were even cases where Israeli soldiers defacated on office floors and smeared their feces on office equipment. (All of the above is documented and shown on John Pilger's 2001 or 2002 documentary, "Palestine Is Still the Issue.") That is how Israel responded to the Saudi peace plan, and even after all this, the plan is still on the table.
