I don't think Israel would refuse peace negotiations. I'd bet if you went up to them and said "tell ya what, we won't shoot at you anymore and you don't shoot at us anymore" They'd go for that. There you are...peace. Simple, really.

As hard as I looked I didn't find a hand reaching for peace in that document. I'd love to hear if you can find words of peace in there.
Hoo boy, Daniel, I'm afraid you are way off the mark here.Quote:

As Rani correctly points out, you cannot judge this conflict by western standards.

No it hasn't. Whats been put to them for thirty years is "you give us this, this, & this and throw in a side order of that and there will be peace". That's what they aren't going for and I don't blame them. The vast majority of the original Palestinian refugees left because the mighty combined Arab armies told them to do so for their own safety while they wiped Israel off of the map. Once the mighty Arabs finished the job, the Palestinians could return home. As it turns out, the mighty Arabs got a mudhole stomped in them and never quite managed to liberate the area as promised. Other territories the Israelis have taken were invaded to stop hostile fire coming from the area. If I were Israel, I wouldn't be inclined to give them back either.Quote:

You'd also think that the bozos in Israel would have learned that each time they do that, there'll be more rockets and suicide bombers coming their way. The Palestinians don't want to give up, turn around and bend over to Israel.Quote:
