I cannot speak for the Palestinians or the Isra'Elis, but a step in the proper direction would be a team of International countries who would, by consensus, arrive at a workable solution that the Palestinians and Isra'Elis agree to. This is not what the Isra'Elis want. Our Government has been compromised by bribery and guilt and have shielded the Isra'Elis, armed them, and finances them. The Isra'Elis idea of the "Quartet" is for the United States to do the negotiating and monitoring and the other three to provide humanitarian aid. David Grossman on Bill Moyer's show "Now" said as much. pbs.org len

You mention that the Palestinians can't get a deal negotiating with the US and Israel. Well ok, fair enough. Would you mind elaborating a bit and tell us all who the Palestinians should negotiate with to get a fair deal? It's quite simple, really. The UN could enforce its resolutions. The general consensus internationally (UN 242) is that Israel gets 3/4 of the land, and the Palestinians get 1/4. The populations are about equal and the Palestinians were there first, so this is a very pro-Israel solution. Yet, the Palestinians have already agreed to it (3 decades ago). If the U.S. would stop vetoing UN actions, that would solve the dispute. Tom
