I think both sides need to forget the past and think about the future. You cant bring back the dead, and recrimination solves NOTHING.

The real way to solve the problem, however, is to just have everyone back off the two states for a year or two. Let them do what they have to do. Have no one step in.They'll continue with their pointless killing. After a while their people may wake up and take charge of their own fate. That or they will end up like Liberia, begging for outside intervention.

For example im pretty sure Arafat didnt give a rat's ass about help from the US or UN... until his compound was surrounded by tanks and bulldozers... all of a sudden he demands assistance? His people getting killed and blowing themselves up doesnt mean a thing, but as soon as his life is in danger "ok, hold on, time-out!"?

Don't get me wrong though... both side's leaders need to go. They need to finish that fense and have a neutral force patrol the borders. Each side stays to themselves. If someone on the palastinian side has a job on the Israel side and can't get there... oh well. If someone on the Israel side has a job on the palestine side and cant get there.. oh well. If a palestinian lives on the Israel side and doesnt feel comfortable.. move.. dont want to move?.. oh well, deal with it. If an Israeli lives on the Palestinian side and doesnt feel comfortable.. move.. dont want to move?.. oh well, deal with it.

For all those that still want to fight after that we can build a little sandbox in the middle of the two countries. If you feel the need to blow yourself up, strap on some explosives, we'll throw a flag from the country of your choice into the sand box, and you can blow yourself up. If you feel the need to roll over a house with a bulldozer, we'll give you a bulldozer and you can drive around in circles in the sandbox running over sheds and doll houses.
