Yep. All the Palestinians have to do is capitulate to all of Israel's demands. No, all they have to stop firing and negotiate in good faith--knowing that they'll have to recognize Israel's existence; knowing that they won't get back to '48 borders and probably not even fully back to the '68 borders; and knowing that Israel can't possibly accommodate demands of a Right of Return for Palestinians. Palestinians could have had a state for over 5 years now if they accepted the Clinton deal, which would have given something like 93% of what they were demanding in terms of land. Instead they began the intifada--gee, that was a smart move, wasnt' it? They could have had even more if they had accepted the two state solution back in '48. Egypt got everything they lost back in '79--including oil that the Israelis had discovered and developed in the decade that they held it. Every time the Palestinians fight instead of negotiating and lose, they ought to know that that decision will have the consequence that the amount of land they can rightfully expect to get back will be smaller.
