I still think the biggest problem here is not that “Palestinians don’t want peace.” Of course they want peace. They want peace as much as Israel does. However, both sides want utterly unrealistic versions of peace.

Palestinians want peace that comes from Israel being eliminated and Jews being at the very least removed from the territory or placed under their control. And those are the liberal ones.

Israelies want peace that involves complete, universal security and full recognition with not only the Muslim world but a peace that helps rid the world of the disease of anti-semetism.

We can all agree that the version the Israelis want is infinitely more desirable, but both are fantasies. The sooner both sides realize that, the better.
