44. Negotiating with an enemy who won't call off the war is futile...

Hamas and the PLO want to keep killing Jews. They want to continue praising & rewarding murderers for their terror. How does Israel meet that half way? Only kill Jews on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays? Come on, what a waste of time.

The PA just doesn't want 2 states for 2 people. They will never recognize Israel as the homeland of the Jews. They want it all & they're very clear about this. Neither Rabin or anyone representing Meretz today could cut a deal with the Palestinians. No offer will ever be good enough. Olmert's offer from 2008 being proof of that.
