They said the same thing about the IRA - but the situation has progressed and improved albeit very slowly (inevitably two steps forward one step back but overall moving, still, in the right direction) - but then the speed of the result should not be the objective but the durability, and if that takes time, so be it (with a 100 years of troubles and legacy to cure vis-a-vis Northern Ireland that's understandable). It starts with a common acceptance from all sides that change for improvement is necessary - once you have that denominator then you can and will move ahead.
Maybe the likes of you and me could not turn the tide in respect of Israel/Palestine, but I believe that there are people (professional negotiators)who can. What else would you propose because I honestly do not see another route that has the power to deliver?
