Talk:Rogers Plan

I find it absurd that the main source for Egypt's "acceptance" of the plan is - if you actually look at the reference - itself a reference to an interview of an internationally recognized terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, of 1993 WTC bombing fame. The statement is nonsensical in light of the 3 No's Egypt signed at Khartoum: NO peace with Israel, NO recognition of Israel, NO negotiations with Israel. Any contradiction of this official policy by Egypt during those years must be clarified for the article's claim to be given any credence. - Anon, Feb 2010

I feel that the section on the War of Attrition added by Scott Adler needs more sources. The only reference is to palestinefacts.org, which is not, in my opinion, a neutral source. I will endeavour to find supporting sources for the discussion of the War of Attrition.

Thanks to GHcool for pointing out the error in the date given for the Arab/Soviet acceptance of the Rogers Plan. That has been corrected. I feel, however, that the references to Astorino-Courtois (1998) and Slater (1991) should have been left in the article, and as such have reinstated them. I am currently searching for sources to support the some of assertions in current and previous versions of this article that:


 * the plan was muted by Rogers in a speech on December 9, 1969.
 * Meir and Rabin conferred with Nixon in December 1969.
 * the Israeli government view support for the plan as 'irresponsible'
 * the plan was rejected by Israel and the US Congress

The original version of this article stated that the Rogers Plan was rejected by all Arab states and the Soviet union because they refused to enter into bilateral negotiations with Israel. That assertion was incorrect and misleading.

It also asserted:

"The Rogers plan created considerable tension between Israel and the United States, both because of the content of the plan, but also because the US made a number of initiatives without consulting Israel first. At one point, ambassador Yitzhak Rabin returned to Israel for consultations, and Israel found it necessary to point out that it fought the Six-Day War without any support from outside." This interpretation of events is, to the best of my knowledge, unsurported by credible sources.

Much of the material in the original version appears to have been taken from the website www.palestinefacts.org, to which there was a link; http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_1967to1991_rogers_1969.php. This website is not a credible source, and was the origin of the incorrect assertion that the Arab states and the USSR rejected the plan.

I will continue to add more to this page using credible sources (eg. refereed academic journals) and original source materials.
