I was in Israel during the first intifada. I talked to Palestinians over sweet tea in their shops when they were supposedly closed. It was all a warning, not an act of violence. There could have been peace then if it were not for people like Sharon. Sharon wanted it all. This where the Palestinians lost again the battle. The Palestinians never had the chance to win the battle. There was a strong democratic group in charge from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s. Every possible overture was rejected. Peace was available. The intifada lost hope and turned sour. The Iranians with their Iran/Contra weapons kicked the Israelis out of Lebanon and Arafat took credit. The second intifada was not so much tea and talk. Sometimes when you have strength you don't think you need peace, or at least idiots like Junior George and Sharon think that. TP
