I just wanted to point out 2 things here:
1) One of the PLO's basic tenets was the 1974 (Palestine National Council) acceptance of a Plan of Phases. In it, they realized that all of Israel could not be overtaken at once. Instead, they would agree to incremental peace deals that would give them enough land from which to fight the final battle. I wish I were making this up but this is a reason that many Jews simply will never ever trust Arafat or even someone like Abbas. How do they know if the peace is sincere or not?
IMO, there is no choice but to hope that the kids & grandkids will forget the original cause but many Israelis see this as suicide.
2) Green is very difficult to read on this board.
