The isreali Palestinian conflict seems to have one main theme--
whenever one side is seriouly ready to make a deal, the other decides
it doesnt' want to. It's been more obvious on the Palestinian side,
but the Isreali's have also missed many chances to bolster the
moderates (back when such a thing existed).

Mostly because every time the peace process gets started, one side or
the other sends in suicide bombers.

Oh, wait, that's just the *one* side.

If the Palestinians ever wanted to make a deal, they'd shut down Hamas
and related groups. They don't.


Or one side decides to play "Kick out the injun" with a new
settlement, or expansion of one or two, or the settlers go off on a
spree of beating up Palestinians.
Curiously, the U.S. media seldom reports those incidents...
