MEMRI analysis of Moslem split over Gaza war reiterates my support of the Abdullah Plan

The link below is a very interesting analysis of the Moslem split over Gaza war (recommended reading, definitely) and gives me a new reason to think highly of it -- the original Saudi version didn't even call for a "right of return" of Palestinians to Israel (see quotes below link).

I do not see how Daniel et.al. can be scornful of that -- when you have the Senior Sunni Psychos basically throwing in the towel on that, what more do you reasonably expect?

"The Saudi-Egyptian camp, on the other hand, opposed the resistance strategy, and rejected calls to sever ties with Israel ....

"Some even called to return to the original version of the Saudi Peace Initiative, before amendments were introduced in 2002 in response to demands by Syria, such as a clause acknowledging the Palestinian right of return."
