I was actually shocked when Israel offered the partitioning of Jerusalem and it was rejected by Arafat...

The Palestinian people have been terribly wronged by him. It appears to me that peace is not in his self-interest.

"Israel cannot deal with the PLO, which has been duplicitous, and connived at terrorism unless under extreme pressure to enforce the peace. The Palestinians are cheering on their children as suicide bombers: who can trust them?"

Agreed.

"The fact is, Jerusalem has a significance for Judaism."

Please consider that Jerusalem holds an equal significance
for Christians and Muslims. Each of these perspectives is being denied by the other. This is what makes Mrs. Peels comment so significant as a possible turning point.
