Re: LA Times Op-ed: Islam gets concessions; infidels get conquered
[ QUOTE ]
A clear majority of Palestinians have supported a two state solution for a long time. One of the two main Palestinian factions is currently tryig to force the other into recognising Israel (despite the fact that it will get no recognition of a Palestinian state in return). Even the other, rejectionist, faction - Hamas - has made it clear for years that it would willingly accept a long term truce based on Israeli withdrawal and leave it up to future generations to decide if this is permanently acceptable. Together these factions represent nearly all Palestinians in the occupied territories. Those views may not be acceptable to you but they are a long way from the all-or-nothing, into-the-sea mentality you falsely ascribe to Palestinians.

I want six pack abs but I am not going to get them if I contiue to eat donuts. Wanting something is not the same thing as taking the neccessary steps to get something.
What real steps have the Palestinians taken to end the violence and hate towards Israel? Please note that I am not suggesting that the responsibility rests with the Palestinians and not with Israel. However, I am curious as to why the palestinians dont act in their own self interest?
