No excuses, E.T. Nazis had "reasons", too. So does every serial killer and bank robber. The point is that "few options" etc is no excuse. If the PA leadership refuses to negotiate for peace and pursues exclusively a course of violence to achieve its goal (the destruction of Israel or what I don't know), what options does that open for Israel? Assassinate them? Israel seems to be getting good at it lately :-) Oh wait, better yet: Wait until a feeble-minded pro-Israeli religious fundamentalist becomes US President, then convince him (easily) to "let" Israel have the chunk of land on which their illegal settlements have been constructed. No need to negotiate at all. Just steal.

If the PA leadership refuses to negotiate for peace and pursues exclusively a course of violence to achieve its goal (the destruction of Israel or what I don't know), what options does that open for Israel? Of course, the Palestinians agreed to compromise with Israel 3 decades ago (1976). To this day, Israel can have its land and full recognition (from the other Arab countries, as well), and full peace treaties. At the drop of a hat. All Israel has to do is renounce its desire to annex the West Bank and Gaza. That's all. Tom
