The whole situation with the Palestinians is really horrible. But, peace WILL NOT OCCUR THROUGH NEGOTIATION. If you listen to what Arafat said in the 80's, in the 90's, and recently...they are identical. But the violence hasn't stopped. One side will have to militarily defeat the other (don't forget, we won WWII and all other wars not with negotiation but by utter destruction of the enemy's ability to fight...unconditional surrender is the result).
What the media never points out is that none of the Muslim countries want to have anything to do with the Palestinians! They are seen as utter outcasts, as dogs. They were expelled from various Muslim countries like Syria, Jordan, Saudi, Egypt, etc. over the last two centuries and were forced to live where they are now. HOWEVER, the only peoples group the Muslim countries hate MORE THAN the Palestinians are the Jews. Therefore, they fund the Palestinians (meagerly) to continue to watch both sides exterminate the other. That makes them quite happy.
Sometimes I want to cry when I watch TV because of all the senseless killing and death that is occuring between Israel and the Palestinians.
