I am not saying that the Palestinians will ever be friends with the Israelis, but I do not believe they are without redemption, as some do here.
It is not that they are without redemption, it is that a significant portion of their numbers want all of the land that is Israel. They have said it openly and to ignore it is suicide.
There may be peace one day, but not without much more turmoil and death. And, probably not in my lifetime. No US administration has been able to broker a deal. Not Nixon's, Reagan's, Clinton's or will Bush. Rice's announcements exacerbate things, not help.
