What's so hard to understand? The guy is not grasping reality:
"The Palestinians cannot drive us away - they have long acknowledged our
existence.
This is simply not true, as I cited.
They have been ready to make peace with us; it is we who are
unwilling to make peace with them.
??? When are they ready-- between terrorist attacks?
It is we who insist on maintaining our control over them; it is we who escalate
the situation in the region and feed the cycle of bloodshed. I regret to say
it, but the blame is entirely ours."
I regret to say it, and I feel for his loss, but he's not in touch with
reality. The blame is *NOT* entirely Israel's.

Oh, I admire his *willingness* for peace. But the reality is that Hamas would
kill him and every other Israeli in a New York minute if they could. And they
will continue to do so, or die trying. _They do not want peace_. Period. End
of story. *This* is the harsh reality that the world MUST, *but is unwilling*,
to acknowledge.
If only one side wants peace, then you really can't have peace, now can you?
(unless, of course, the other side kills all of the peace-lovers).
