It seemed like a very interesting publication and these ideas are not surprising given historical precedent. Of course, none of that seems to matter anymore.
It does highlight early Jewish attempts to come to an agreement with Arabs...and ultimately brings into sharp relief the long history of Arab rejectionism.
