I think that probably the average Palestinian wants nothing more. Unfortunately, the only Palestinians that make good press are the crazy assholes, and I don't think they want peace. I don't think they care how many of their fellows are killed either. Just makes for more news coverage.

demonise an entire race or country for the actions of the few and there will never be possibility for dialogue.
i have no doubt in my mind that ordinary palestinians and israelis want nothing but peace, they are sick of the fighting, poverty and terror.
whether or not either governmental side is genuinely intent on peace is open to question. israel appears to have shown little enthusiasm for the roadmap and i see sharon as much a barrier to peace as arafat.

i voted no since they have been using violence for so many years but like chcr said i think the media is showing more of the extremists. i say the same to Israel tho that it is the extremists that are shown most people probably want some form of peace. and there werent too many choices in this poll either.

suicide attacks, no. but they do tend to 'coincidently' point another missile to a car in the street, which just 'happens' to have an important assumed criminal aboard, preferably on critical moments.
when the occasion occurs yes. shooting palestine children because they are throwing stones is just as wrong as the palestine actions.
no, but they will certainly have their revenge. in a few days i can ask you, did the PLO have 5 counterattacks in the last 36 hrs?
see? they are BOTH guilty on NOT cooperating on the peace talks. biggest factors AREN'T the palestine AND israeli people. i'm pretty sure they're dead tired of 30+ yrs of fighting. 30+ yrs of being afraid.
problem is politic. again. sharon just as well as arafat.

ok.
not going to participate with YOU in this discussion. i knew in advance how you were going to respond, as true pro-israeli guy.
both parties are guilty in this matter, but the whole attitude of "the other one is most guilty" is fucking up peace talks for at least the last decade. hard to accept

For many years the blind desire corrupts the people's minds,
in unseen days the reign of hate consumes them all in kind.
Forever shall they see their plight the night their brothers fall,
when for naught their lives are spent and dust becomes them all.

I'm afraid you make the very common mistake of expecting them to think like us, Gonz. They don't, and there is no reason to expect them to. The average Palestinian lives in a world where people get killed daily for saying anything that can be remotely construed by the zealots as being against them. They not only know they can't stop it, they know they can get everyone they care about killed by trying.Gonz said:
