Yet another "the Palestinians had the chance and they screwed it up" excuse.
For decades this is how the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has played out. Israel pushes for more, antagonizes the splintered leadership of the Palestinians, plays one group off the other - and then when they can't organize based on what Israel wants, it becomes a blown opportunity for the Palestinians to "make" peace.
If this is the "Moment of Truth" for the Palestinians, every other moment is the "Moment of Truth" for the Israelis.
- Tear down the wall (so pleasantly referred to as a "fence").
- Give back the land according to the UN/1948 map.
- Split Jerusalem.
It's all in Israel's hands. Has been for decades.
