Oh, just wanted to clarify above what i mean here by making concessions wrongly- I think it was a mistake for them ever to negotiate with the PLO, a terrorist organization, to begin with. Granted, they did so under immense international political pressure, but still. Negotiating with them grants them legitimacy. The PLO has carried out so many gruesome atrocities that it should never have been considered legitimate. It is not a coincidence that the Oslo accords resulted in all this bloodshed. The violenced after Oslo was more than in all the years before. This is because in Oslo they were negotiating with and making concessions to, and thus strengthening, a crazy terrorist organization, the PLO, and it's despotic leader, Arafat. Peace can't be made with people that want to kill you, period. When you make concessions to another, be it an individual, a group, or a nation, you strengthen their position. That is why the concessions should be saved until there is real change and a real chance for peace, giving them now will only strengthen and embolden terrorism. If the world forces them to give into it there, it will come to us here, without question, much more than it already has, eventually. The terrorism against Israel and that against the West is the same phenomenon, and the same fight. The longer this harsh reality is ignored, the bigger hole we will all dig ourselves into.
