I think we can safely say that the current tactics on both sides are not helping anything except to increase the number of graves on both sides. What would you do? Stopping further settlements into Palestinian land could be a start. It would be an indication that Israel wants peace rather than to slowly penetrate all occupied territories and kick the Palestinians out. Did the breakdown in negotiations justify suicide bombings, in your opinion? No. Just like a suicide bombing does not justify "retaliation" of killing civilians in occupied territories. If I'm negotiating with someone and he starts shooting at me, what do I do? Does it look like Sharon is negotiating with anyone? Come on... How about this question: If your land is under occupation by a power much stronger than you, your wife just got killed under a falling roof with your two kids because of an Israeli tank that decided to take it down, if you have no hope for the future, what do you do? How do you fight back? Talk? What good is it doing? When was the last time you saw any "talk"?
