I don't disagree with this Finn. However, the Palestinian leadership his the intractable problem of allying itself with those who will accept nothing more that "wiping Israel off the map." Not exactly a great starting place for negotiations. Its also tough to negotiate with random rockets raining down on your country. In the meantime, the Israelis, not sinless in this conflict, have given at the negotiating table just about everything the Palestinians have demanded, only to see the offer rejected.

Its hard to come to a peaceful agreement with your enemy when your enemy will accept nothing less than your extinction.
