During the period of the Oslo accords, there was no "brutal occupation." Sorry my misunderstanding - I thought you were referring to the terrorist war of late. Still, I guess you would agree that there IS a "brutal occupation" now. And going forward, just how realistic is it to expect Palestinians to unilaterally disarm (i.e. castrate their fighting power) BEFORE anything is agreed on? Isn't rendering oneself powerless just before negotiations just about the stupidest thing to do (or expect the other side to do)? The ratios have been changing. More recently the Pals have done much worse. Back to 1:20? I doubt that very much. My point was that both sides are suffering. The "ratio" was to show that over the long term, the situation is far from deteriorating for the Palestinians, and anyway even that does not matter much when you have nothing to lose, as is their case. The status quo is destroying the Pals. What is the alternative for them, in your opinion? What glorious life are they leaving behind by choosing to kill Israelis?
