Israel ...

There have been several two party state solutions proposed over the years, even ones with Palestine getting the "lion's share" of the division, and these have always been accepted by Israel and rejected by Palestine.

It is fairly clear that the Palestinians are not looking for their own state, they're looking for the destruction of Israel ... which is a position I simply can not support.

Palestinians can't be expected to support peace when their homes are still being demolished and replaced with Jewish settlers. No one could ever accept that.

In that case, they're crazy and will never want peace.   Generally "getting my ass kicked" is positivly correlated with wanting peace.

Read what i've been writing. If you have a bully who's just out there to bully you, and no teacher or anyone in authority will come to your aid, you have no recourse but violence against the bully. If you believe your foe cannot be bought, reasoned, or negotiated with, then you will choose to fight even if it means getting your ass kicked over and over again.

Now this may be due to problems of communication, but that's how it will be

I've read what you've been writing... it generally reminds me of the cliche Einstein quote about the definition of insanity.

Israel did let up before.  In 2005. 

What happened was that the Paletsinians elected Hamas and redoubled rocket attacks.

Why do you believe that breathing room would lead to a move away from extremism, when the last time it happened it lead to the extremist party gaining power in the first place?
