Billo_Really, et al,
This is the age old question as to which came first: The "Chicken" or the "Egg?"
(COMMENT)
The question as to which side bends first and compromises is a paradox.
The Israelis, under the threat of violence from the Arab Palestinian since a time before independence, cannot afford to compromise the defense of the nation or the security of the citizens. If Israel makes the first move towards peace and allows the Arab Palestinian to secure a strategic offensive advantage, they might lose all and never be able to regain its sovereignty. The Israelis, having been attacked numerous times by nearly every Arab nation (at least once), and consistently outnumbered by Hostile Arabs, has much to risk in such an uneven political equation and tactical situation.
If we just examine the timeframe beginning with the UN General Assembly Adoption of the Resolution 181(II), we find that Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) made a solemn pledge 68 years ago (over half a century past) that was made by an Arab Leadership that supported the authors of the Holocaust (the systematic and state-sponsored persecution of six million Jews by the Axis Powers and its collaborators) which said:
This pledge has gone essential unchanged for more nearly seven decades and is mimicked in Palestinian National Charter (1968), the Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement (1988), and more recently in a 2013 major position paper, published by Khaled Meshal, Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau (currently hiding out on Doha, Qatar).
Oddly enough, Palestinians in general --- pose a new kind of threat to themselves, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Israel. The inability of the HoAP to effectively govern has allowed the Islamic State (ISIS/DAESH) (and associated Salafi terrorist groups) to appeared and operate in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. More recently, a group calling itself the "Supporters of the Islamic State in Jerusalem" has turned-up in the Holy City; placing the City itself at risk. ISIS is know to vandalize and destroy locations holding ancient artifacts and antiquities. The ability of the HoAP to secure its own territorial interests from such a threat represents a much greater threat to Palestinian Sovereignty than Israel ever did.
The HoAP must first turnover a new leaf, if it is to get a reaction from the Israelis. The HoAP must demonstrate that the vendetta and feud between the Israeli and Palestinian is over and they must first demonstrate that through actual deeds. That is of course, if they are not first eaten by the Iranians or ISIS.

Well, that is the hope of all colonizers, that the dispossession of, and the crimes against the indigenous people will be forgiven and that they will be able to enjoy their ill gotten gains without interference. This hardly ever happens. If the indigenous people are not completely, or nearly completely eliminated in terms of culture and population, they will fight on. Even where it may have appeared that the indigenous people had been culturally eliminated, they have risen to repossess their lands. Ecuador and Bolivia are examples.
So what will you do when the indigenous of America start killing innocents to reclaim all their land ?
We were able to destroy their culture and eliminate most of the Native Americans in what is now the U.S.A.
You sound proud of your violence and terrorism to steal the land of the First Nations people. What excuse will you use to justify not giving the land back, seeing as you are nothing but an European invader that colonised by force the land yopu currently squat on.
Not proud at all, it was a genocide. Just fact.
No you sound proud of your genocide and ethnic cleansing of first nations people, and being a hypocrite you don't see any problems in having done so. In fact you try and cover up your religious colonisation by force of the USA by pointing at the Jewish declaration of independence in 1948 as if it was something abhorrent and vile.
YOU ARE THE TRUE EUROPEAN INVADER AND COLONISER AND YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE
