The definition of insanity: "Repeating exactly the same behavior over and over, but expecting different results." Are the Palestinians going to one day learn that, "Give us what we want or we will murder your people!" never has accomplished anything for them and never will??SHERMAN said:PLO does not want Hammas to lay down it's weapons, because they want to use it like the stick in the stick and carrot deal...what they want is to keep Hammas from shooting now, but to be able to unleash it if Israel dose not accept their demands. This has been this way since the Oslo agrremant, and it's no diffrent now. Until they stop this policy, the peace is a good distance away.
You would think that they would have learned by now that Hamas isn't a good tool. It's stated purpose is to destroy Israel with no compromise. I suppose that if somebody could manage to change the mission of Hamas, that might be a blessing in disguise. The reality of the matter is that the PLO isn't going to be able to use them. Hamas is going to do everthing in its power to sabotage any peace proposal, just like they always have. The PLO is problematic enough without bothering to try to bend Hamas to do something that (in Hamas view of things) would compromise their primary mission.
I can certainly understand that the Palestinians are going to have a hard time trusting the Israelis. I think it is could lead them to unwittingly destroy a future that sees better days for Palestinians. By the way, Israel needs to curb their own extremists and they also need to behave themselves. I am more willing to believe that Israel will do it. Palestine needs to demonstrate that their leadership is willing to compromise and more importantly keep their promises.
