Israel, as the mature adult has made countless first moves.
1) They accepted a 2 state solution with an international Jerusalem
2) They offered back the occupied territories in return for peace, IMMEDIATELY after seizing them in 1967
3) As part of Oslo, somewhere in the range of 98% of Palestinians fell under PA control
4) They have already given back 93% of the land won in a defensive war (Sinai) and have offered back 100% of Gaza and 97% of WB.
Each time, Israel has been met with war. After a 50 year war, it's time for the kids to grow the fuck up.
