Too bad nobody is willing to try it. Don't forget that past peace initiatives have been derailed by elements on both sides. Yeah, except the 'derailing elements' on the Arab side were working for the government. Deniability, don't you know. If Hamas hadn't been blowing up buses in Jerusalem in 1994, then Rabin or Perez, his successor, could have concluded a deal. This equivalence between the two sides is false. One side wants peace, the other wants total victory. It's just possible that if the Israelis had long ago agreed to give up the land captured in the Six Day War, there might have been peace. But we can never know, because they insisted that grabbing all that new land was a necessary part of their self defense. Recheck your history, Allen. In the aftermath of the Six Day War, Levi Eshkol offered nearly all the territories back (I think he excluded East Jerusalem and the Golan from the offer). He was met with the 3 no's of the Khartoum conference: No recognition. No negotiation. No peace. At that point, the territories, which had last been legally administered by the British in 1948, entered a kind of diplomatic limbo.
