1. They initiated a terrorist war against Israel. ... while under Israel's brutal occupation. Some might call that fighting for freedom or something. 2. They are losing the war, badly. I thought both sides were hurting. Besides, the fact that the ratio of casualties have "improved" in favor of Palestinians - from 1:20 to 1:3 (1 Israeli killed for every three Palestinian). That does not seem like a deteriorating situation. Besides, you might like to consider just how little "they are losing the war" means to a group of people who have nothing to lose. What do you think they risk if they don't give up now - losing their country? :-) 3. They can't afford to continue the status quo Why not? What is the shining alternative they are giving up in continuing the status quo?
