Adam, so far there is no working definition of “peace” in the Middle East. As an outside observer, it looks like the Arabs ( NOT Palestinians, there are no Palestinians, since no Nation named Palestine has ever existed. I challenge anyone that thinks there ever was a Palestine to name the first King of Palestine and his capital) see peace as Israel being wiped off the map, while Israel sees peace as being left alone to recapture the land they controlled thousands of years ago.
Naturally, there can be no negotiations until a different definition of ‘Peace’ has been accepted by BOTH sides. That will require negotiations, which leaves everybody ‘stuck on stupid’, chasing their own tails. This will continue until Israel gets the will, or the Arabs get the means, to exterminate the other side.
I say a pox on both houses.
