I believe all those things Israel has to do according to you, are on the table for peace negotiations in some form when they start up again- There are serious things for the Palestinians to do too , like working on a 2 State solution living in peace and security for each state - the conditions upon Israeli land withdrawals. Hamas won't accept that premise - so future peace with Hamas and the Palestinians living in Gaza at any rate is not looking too good right now. How to begin to negotiate with a bitter enemy - on each side - that's the big challenge. But it can be done at some point through compromise and will. (I'm really afraid that Hamas and it's fundamentalist Islamist / Jihadist agenda won't ever be able to want a compromise at all - that's not what they stand for. )
ifor - It is going to take 2 peoples with demands to make PEACE. That's how it's done. No one side will get everything they want, but the end goal is living without war and utter hatred. You don't need to like your enemies, but you can make PEACE with them - It has happened in this world before & I believe it will happen some day for the Palestinians and Israelis.
