Don't forget that Israel currently has peace treaties with Jordan and Egypt, both initiated by Israel. As for what is happening on the ground, what is happening is that the Palestinians don't want to deal with the Israelis at the barganing table and by so doing, they are keeping themselves in a state of ruin. When Israel finds tunnels dug under people's homes used to infiltrate illegal weapons and bombs to be used on Israeli citizens, the house, as far as Im concerned, deserves to be bulldozed and eliminated as a source of violence. When Yassin was blown to bits in his wheelchair on the way to mosque, I say he deserved as much for setting an agenda of hate and intolerance that keeps millions of his own people in the state of misery and squalor they find themselves in today. When leaders of armed militias bent on the destruction of Israel are targeted and killed off, I say they deserved to have their messages of extremism and murderous underlings neutralized. Ordinary Palestinians deserve better than the type of thugs they have for leaders, and they are the ones who are suffering because of it, is the way I see it.

And try to put yourself in the position of an Israeli who - to get to work everday - relies on the public transit system which, though guarded heavily, is nevertheless a primary target of suicide bombers. Imagine having lunch in a cafe and having to wonder if it and you will be blown to pieces before you are through. Teenagers dancing in clubs are seen as legitimate targets to be blown up by religious fanatics. Armed Palestinian lunatics storm into a Jewish wedding ceremony and light the place up with automatic gunfire and you're saying its nonsense to suggest that the Israelis aren't being victimized? The way I see it, Israeli citizens are as much a victim of the corrupt and morally bankrupt Palestinian leadership as the Palestinians themselves are. I would suggest that your version of the 'reality on the ground' over there differs greatly from that which would be characterized by any one of the 6 million Israelis having to live this nightmare daily.
