Maybe I am suggesting proposing peace (appeasement) to see if this provokes a more serious series of attacks on Israel. Sure men, women, and children are killed and mutilated, but it's a war. Let's face it, it's happening.

As I've already said, this is ridiculous! Appeasing dictators and terrorists only begets more aggression and terrorism. Israel's "Chamberlain" phase ended at Taba.

In the case of Israels problems, if it wants a lasting peace, it has to suffer until plainly the majority of the world its on it's side. Worthy of support.

Slight problem with this suggestion -- it would require Israel to suffer until it is destroyed. I am not kidding. World sympathy does not naturally go to Israel -- have you seen the world giving Israel sympathy when its children get blown up in discos and restaurants?

My view, if Oslo was serious, and he broke it, he should of been discarded already.

It was, he did, and he should have been -- by the Palestinians. But they're too dysfunctional. What do you suggest now? An Israeli reoccupation will be very nasty, but the Israelis are starting to discuss the possibility. Having a PA that parks long-range Katyushas in Jenin and Tulkarm is just not something they can live with.

First Israel has to put forward a peace plan it will stick to, then that has to be discussed with the Palestinians and other world leaders

Really, didn't you notice Camp David and Taba? What part of "no" don't you understand? Do you seriously propose that Israel should offer Yasser Arafat the same deal again?
