But as far as what is going on in Israel, it has exactly zero impact. They already know all this. The same applies here. You may remember the time I had a great laugh at Scumbria's list of Clinton interantional achievements, at the top of which was the peace process in Israel. It absolutely clear to me that it would fail, so now I can say "I told you so". Basically, the cause of conflict has not been solved / removed / addressed, and without that, all the coffees, teas, dinners, fruitless sessions, empty promises, disingenuous hand shakes, all are meaningless. If they put in 10 times as many hours, "worked" harder on the "peace thing", drank 10 time as much coffee, the result would have been exactly the same - zero, nothing.
