Another interesting point i read was from a letter in the herald tribune, where one man wrote - The points:
Attacks by SOME palistiniam muslim fanatics is considered TERRORISM and complete national war against israel, while israeli settlement "building" and conquering and mistaken "killings" are considered "advances or tactical procedures" by the press.
Israel should reatreat some settlements and pull troops out of the west bank and gaza. then they can go and say "Hey! look we are actually doing something unlike the palastinians who just bomb us!" this would cause a lot of pressure on the palestinians to stop terrorists.
completion on the fence needs to be done soon to halt/limit the number of suicide bombers.
but most of all, their needs to be new leadership in the PLO. NO ONE can deal with arafat, not Israel, nt the US, no one. new leadership can bring new hope.
also possible foreign intervention may be need, the US, UE, and others could be needed.

Turkey quickly crushed down at th source suicde bombers and organizations related to them militarily WITH NO HARM TO CIVILIAN POPULATION of the kurds.
They then pumped money in the kurdish parts to develop life and community so they wouldnt be hated so much. Also gave jobs and started giving them a real peaceful society.
Russia on the other hand, sent troops in and killed a whole bunch of innocent chechnyans(bl3h), not paying much heed to their peoples. Then they just sat there and let it rot.

Just follow the link below OK? It's amnesty international, FYI, who despite probably being a bit too liberal, what with the opposition of torture and everything, are generally considered a reliable source by anyone but the government in question.
