There will be peace when Palestine leadership wants peace. When Jordan wanted peace, it got it; when Egypt wanted peace it got it.

Whether or not Lieberman will be a major player may depend in part on what Palestinians decide what the want. Palestine makes a lot of demands, but doesn't offer much in return--a prisoner here, a few Jewish dead there. In times of war, hardliners are more apt to be elected.

They do offer Jews the possibility of living in an Islamic dominated country. That's an offer to good to pass up! Christians had that deal in Lebanon until the 1970s; it worked rather well until the incursion of Palestinians, a state within a state, into that former oasis of the Mediterranean.

Lastly, when children are no longer used as direct or indirect shields there will be no more child killing.
