Your notion as to why the Palestinians are attacking Israelis is, apparently, twofold: strange ideology which promotes suicide bombing and a wish to drive the Israelis into the sea. Both simply ignore the most important reason of all, the one which could be negotiated, which is the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. And the Palestinians desire for a territory of their own.

Why is it John that whenever a ceasefire is being proposed, and/or ministerial meetings between the PA and Israel are scheduled, HAMAS and Islamic Jihad pull out the stops? If the occupation by the Israelis are the prime concern, why is it that Palestinians seem intent on sabotaging every effort to end that occupation? It's no surprise to either of us that I find Nadine's reasoning to be more consistent with the facts of the matter than yours.
