Many of your points, Nerd, are factually incorrect. This one, for instance:

They have repeatedly tried to negotiate with Arafat, and Rabin essentially offered him everything he asked for; he STILL would not agree to any amicable arrangement.

Arafat signed the agreement with Rabin, and he and the PLO were living up to their part of the agreement. It was Israel (under Netanyahu, after Rabin was murdered) who pulled out of that agreement. This is even acknowleged by many Israelis. Had Israel complied with the Oslo agreement instead of reneging on it, the second intifada would probably never have been started. The Israeli government most certainly is responsible for the plight of the Palestinians.
