The really stupid thing is if the palestinians were to stop killing jews while they ate or rode buses etc for..say a year they'd get their country. For a people who are supposed to be pretty bright they really are dumb. I mean I figured it out and I've never been accused of being the brightest bulb on the tree.
They could have had an autonomous state several times - that's not their objective.
They are the Arab pistol to the head of the State of Israel.
Sorry, but it is you who does not understand the basic dynamic at work.
The rejectionists who want "all or nothing", or as they loudly say "Palestine from the river to the sea", view an Oslo/Camp David rump Palestine as the worst possible outcome. The closer such a rump state comes to being a reality, the more human bombs they will detonate.
It is not a question of "tweaking" Oslo or Camp David until both Israel and the PA are satisfied. It is a question of dealing with the terror bombing rejectionists who hold the ultimate "veto card" and will never accept a Palestine which does not encompass all of present Israel.
