Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations to the Palestinians.
It's a start.

Now we have to see if the Palestinian Authority can control the extremists in Gaza. If they can, then that will help convince many in Israel that they can give up land in the West Bank. If they cannot, then there is no hope for further withdrawls for a generation.

It's going to take a lot of tolerance and trust on both sides, and alot of luck.

I think the only solution for Jerusalem is some kind of international status, very defintly not belonging to either side
