Your right the Palestinians were constantly making concessions. But they did get a settlement freeze that expired but Israel may have renewed it or negotiated something else.

I also believe the United Nation's needs to get militarily involved. The UN Security Council once Libya is over should intervene next time Israel clashes with the Palestinian's. They should threaten sanctions and move to draw up a border. I don't think Israel or Palestine have the capacity to draw up a border themselves. The international community should get together and draw up a border. Then the UN should send some troops to enforce this border.

Then again the UN went into Lebanon and promised to stop Hezbullah from re-arming and carrying out attacks on Israel. The UN proved they were unable to carry out the task and Hezbullah is armed to the teeth.

So in reality I think Israel's allies and Palestines allies through the United Nation's should draw up a border. Then both Israel and Palestine will have to accept this border or face sanctions and possible military action.

But in order for that to happen us Israeli Allies need to finally step in and tell Israel they need to make some concessions and work with the Palestinians. Even Obama hasn't really told Israel they need to work on a peace plan and effectively influence them to make peace!

Both sides are to blame. The real reason why the conflict is still ongoing is that the Jews in Israel find it intolerable that they will be a minority in their own Jewish state eventually and once that happens the country will unify with the rest of Palestine and then be renamed palestine. The demographics of the palestinians within their borders already point to this happening. So let them build their settlements because the more Palestinians they include in their borders the sooner they will have 'peace through sex'.

Actually (as Kasz once pointed out) the demographic problem for the Jews isn't really the case, their long-term birth-rates will see them through democratically
