Palestine does not WANT peace, and apparently does not WANT statehood -- it wants martyrdom. It's asked so long and so loudly for martyrdom. Well, why not let the people have what they want?
Sarcasm in this thread may be a little too well hidden by the level of which I'm fed up with the Middle East situation.

incorrect statement: Palestine does not want peace
correct statement: certain Palestinians do not want peace
This is exactly what extremist groups want you to think. That they represent the majority of their alleged side. With most groups/races/peoples/humans the majority wants peace and quietness and the possibility to live their own lives unharmed.
