I'm not faulting Clinton on it, but peace can only come when both want it.
My Palestinian friend I have mentioned said that peace is only used to gather strength to fight again. Apparently this sort of deceit is ok because its what Muhammad did to capture Mecca in the first place. He pretended to want to live in peace and when the time was right attacked. I don't know the validity of this story, but it is what is being taught to the Palestinian children.
This is part of why I see no hope for any sort of real negotiated peace in the near future. Peace is nothing but a tool, not a goal for many of them.
