And now you say Israel should respond to the violence with talks.
Maybe it was a good offer, but why does that mean they have to take it? "It's the best offer you'll get. Take it or leave it."

Well frikken hell, Jerusalem being a big contender, why not give the east side including their mosque? *This* was the one of the major reasons for failure - Israel would not budge on Jerusalem. Why not?

and then there's the refugees.... why refuse their return?

I don't recollect any reason's for not giving either....

It's all fine and dandy to say that you are offering an olive branch, but what happens when you don't have an ear on the ground and you accept it?
