Then have a look at Robert Malley's POV on that... he wrote a lengthy bit of insightful comments in the NYT after that, blaming all 3 parties on the failure (Arafat, Barak and Clinton) and not just Arafta as was reported by the mainstream press.

Now, what's very interesting is even though Malley has been reported as an anti-Israel, Hama-loving person, Obama appointed him as a principal foreigh policy advisor.

So, as someone pointed out in this threat, Israel's unilateral ceasefire and Obama's taking the presidency could well not be mere coincidence...
I don't care who's fault it is for a fail agreement. There is no justification to pick up arms at that point. They could have continued talking. They could have come back to the table in a month, two months, etc. Israel had made the best offer the Palestinians had ever seen. What was the response? Violence.

And now you say Israel should respond to the violence with talks.
