I think that despite the violence, there needs to be a Palestinian state...very very regulated. No Arafat, no Hamas, etc. A constitution with limits...as in the recognition of Israel, with specific borders, a denouncing of terrorism and spelling out of consequences..part of the fuel for the fire has been the PLO charter as it stands. It has to go. And people around the world have to find a way to talk directly to the Palestinian people and tell them, as they don't seem to understand, that there will be an Israel, there will not be the Palestine they dream of, but there will be an infinitely better situation for all.
