maybe that's not the way to get a true peace done?

How can you engage in honest peace negotiations with a culture that is seeking the destruction of the other??

The Arabs have been swearing to destroy Israel ever since 1948. That's one hell of a way to achieve "true peace", now isn't it?

The Israelis made peace with Egypt and Anwar Sadat was assassinated for doing so.

So something tells me that it's not the Israelis who are presenting the obstacles..

Might not it be that Yasir Arafat IS ALSO quite afraid of suffering Sadat's fate for "making peace, not war"?

Islamic extremism is certainly FAR MORE POWERFUL A FORCE NOW, than it was when Sadat was "punished".

If they are willing to blow themselves up in Israel, then nothing would stop them from killing someone who they believe was making peace with the Jews.

THAT'S THE REALITY George... The cold, hard, reality which controls peace in the middle east.
