Roudy,
et al,
Not every attempt at securing peace is going to be successful.
There is no question that there are Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP), like a majority of Gaza, that are self-defeating, negative thinkers, constant complainer, perpetual victims, and excessively judgmental people. But by the same token, there is a great potential as a people and as a nation.

There will always be a snapshots in time that are distasteful. But that doesn't change the objectives to the endgame. It doesn't change the goal of achieving peace and economic prosperity for both people and nations. It doesn't change what we all should have as a target to achieve.
We need to remember snapshots of adversity, but work towards achieving a steady stream of peace.

What target is there to achieve. Israel forcibly removed all Jews from Gaza, and handed the keys to a Jew free Gaza to the Arabs.
What do they get in return as a show of appreciation, after all this whining about an "occupation"? Destruction of everything that Israel had built, and showers of rockets at Israeli cities.
Not to mention the election of a terrorist organization as leaders of the govt.
Thanks to this experience, the world can no longer insist that land for peace is the solution to this problem. One of the many genius moves by the late Ariel Sharon. God Bless his soul.

As I said, and that you've probably noticed, I make a distinction between the Palestinian that is Hostile, and those that are moderated. And I probably don't make enough comments concerning the moderate Palestinians and their contribution towards peace and regional security.
Similarly, there are those Israelis that are constantly agitating trouble and aggravating the conflict that need highlighted as counterproductive influences; that I should make note of more often
(especially some of those less than righteous settlers creating problems we could do without).
Of course I am more than aware that the HAMAS Government in Gaza is counterproductive in terms of securing economic advancements and securing the peace. But that does not mean that we should all not be aware of the many that, in their small way, try to go about their daily lives in peacefully. There is some value in the summation of the accumulative effect.
