The Israelis have repeatedly given land for "peace," which has resulted in only more terrorist attacks and barrages of rockets, anti-tank missles fired at school buses, etc. Abbas has refused to discuss any alternative other than the elimination of Israel. The so-called Palestinians were given "Trans-Jordan" by the UN in 1948, but were massacred & expelled by Jordan, and the world somehow thinks they should be Israel's problem. If Abbas would come to the table with a willingness to negotiate, something could be accomplished.
