Reply #18: i dont blame the attacks on just the occupation...

[pelsar]

israels very existence to some is enough for attacks...for others its the 67 occupation...there are a wide variety of groups attacking israel each with their own agenda....

More than half of israel has already accepted the principle of a Palestinian State somewhere along the green line....to get there, they have to stop attacking FOREVER (or to be brutally honest, keep it limited in violence and geography to the occupied territories-as per intifada I...) The settlers are infact a small noisy minority, that most of israel has no need for.....but until the Palestinians (or the leadership) earn the trust (yes, it may not be fair, but there it is) of the israeli population, little will change.

I have no idea what negotiating not as equals means. Negotiation is based on what each group has vs what they want, negotiations is designed to bring about a satisfactory solution to those same groups, that they agree to. The fact that there is negotiation mean each group has something the other one wants.
