Agree with The Hierophant really - if Isreal just keeps holding out then its more ammo for the extremists. Theres not going to be any growth of a progressive movement under the conditions the Palestinians are under now, and whilst there will still be people wanting Isreal gone for ever there will be far fewer prepared to suicide bomb in order to get it.
However I certainly don't like the idea of the acts of terror being construed as acts of war once the Palestinians have a state. Thats completely ludicrous - just because those people would now be citizens of the state of Palestine doesn't mean that their actions are considered to represent that states policy. Only if the Palestinians completely failed to take action against those terrorists would Isreal be able to implicate the Palestinian state in any wrong doing. Richard Reed was English, doesn't mean that him lighting his shoelaces was an act of war by us against the USA.
