What if...

What if the Arabs and Palestinians had wanted peace in 1929, 1947, 1948, 1967, 1993, 2000, or 2005? I've just read a fantastic letter to the editor of the New York Times, pointing out that it has been the Palestinians who have consistently rejected peace.
Rather than young Israelis questioning why their parents didn’t turn back in 1967, young Palestinians should be asking why, at every opportunity, their parents have chosen conflict over compromise.
