Not trying involves possible loss of life too. That's not a good enough answer, when the track record shows that peace processing accounts for far more deaths than not. Just chart the histogram of casualties against periods of 'peace processing'. Almost no Israelis died in the decade before 1994. More than a thousand died in the decade after. Ditto for the Pals. You want all your ducks in a row before pursuing peace and to that i say, that will never happen and thus you will never have peace That's not what I said. I want an 'opening'. I want an Arab leader who accepts Israel as the Jewish state, or a Saudi Minister who will shake the hand of an Israeli PM. Just think about how little that is to want, and how impossible it is, all because of the Arab attitudes. When Begin spoke the Knesset, he made an opening. Nobody will do that today, not even King Abduallah of Jordan.
