>> Maybe the difference is that the Israelis listen to the answers as well as the proposals?<<
I'm sure there are those who see what they want to see and read into what they want as well.
Take your reply for example.You focused ONLY on a narrow negative portion of the multiple links of information I posted in two separate posts.By your answer, you are suggesting the only thing that matters in all of this is that the radical wing,Hamas, has control over what happens in this process.That's a huge stretch,but I'm sure the Lukidites will play this to the hilt to make their case against peace now.This is like saying the West can never have peace with Muslim countries because Al Q's want to kill us all.
Absurdity Nadine.
>>Ramallah, West Bank: Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said today he was ready to work with the newly-elected head of Israel's Labour Party, Amram Mitzna, to finalise the peace process launched with the late Yitzhak Rabin.<<
But the Islamic radicals in the Palestinian camp were unimpressed, saying Mitzna's rise would make no difference.
"We are ready to work with anybody who is heading the (Labour) party and we stretch our hand for the peace of the brave," Arafat told journalists outside his headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
"I hope Mitzna will follow in the footsteps of Rabin and finish off his work. I am sure he will do it," he said.

And I will reiterate :
The Quartet should not hesitate in progressing the roadmap to peace…not one day!
Lay it out on the table and let the people of Israel have their voice during elections.
But on Hamas :
“ Halevy, former Mossad chief and now chairman of the National Security Council, believes the day will come when it will be necessary to negotiate with Hamas. “

And on the Lukid Party :
>>the Likud constitution and its platform clearly oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state. In addition, the petitioners claim that in the previous Likud central committee meeting, last May, it was decided that, "a Palestinian state West of the Jordan will not exist," a decision opposed by the prime minister. They claim that even as Likud chairman and prime minister, Sharon can't contradict a basic tenet denying the existence of a Palestinian state. <<
