Considering the two intifadas take up a relatively small chunk of of the last 50 years, why don't you tell me how much non-violence has gotten the Palestinians over that time? They were a behaved oppressed people for many years, and what did that get them? If they're quiet, they're that much easier to squish. If they resist, they're terrorists.
The US will never approach the situation from a true mediator's standpoint. There will never be two states. That is unless they throw together a Palestinian state at the last second in order to avoid the innevitable shift in Israeli majority from Jewish to Arab.
The Palestinians have been demonized greatly in America. Thousands of years of coexistence in Palestine are ignored in order to relegate Palesinians to hateful anti-semites (it might be useful to look up semite to see the silliness of that term) who are Hell bent on the destruction of all Jews.
People forget who took what from whom. People see a 20 year old, educated woman with a bomb strapped to her chest and they ask why she's so evil, not teh question of what might cause her to take such desperate measures.
This 72 virgins garbage is getting tired too. If it was such a blissfull outcome, then why wait until now to take such action? Why aren't arabs all over the world blowing themselves up? What do they have to lose?
