I think the world helped make this mess and the world has to help solve it. I don't see how the two sides can voluntarily come to any agreements without military and financial pressure from the outside world. We can start by looking at the problem of population pressure and look for ways to relieve that..massive immigration of the Palestinians, combined with better lives for those who remain. (Yes, I support the right of Israel to exist, with well-defined borders, and to the right of a Palestinian state to exist, with borders and under, for the forseeable future, international peace-keeping forces. Terrorism must be dealt with swiftly and surely, as it is being done. Arafat is now cornered, and should be cut off from all communication and held on house arrest until happier days arrive. There are ways to improve the lot of the Palestinians..with better water, sewage, garbage services. Better access to education, particularly trade schools. I will say that if I owned an olive orchard and had to watch through a fence while it was bulldozed I would not be a "nice" refugee. In my own land. We have somehow, many if not most of us in America and probably Europe, heard only one side of this. Some of what we have heard has been misinformation. We have to seek out the truth on all sides. mg
