4. For how long did the Jews say "next year in Jerusalem" before they actually got to Jerusalem?

All discussions of the Israeli/Palestinian relations should start with this mantra.

A. Accept the fact that the Palestinians are not going away.

B. Ideas don't die. Israel is implementing a solution based on violent removal of individuals, not the causes for the extremism.

So plan on a forever occupation.

C. You can't negotiate with a non-existent country or an adversary that has no power.

Provide the basis for Palestinians to actually build a society. People are known to become less extreme if they have safety, food, shelter.

D. "If you want peace, work for justice" (Pope Paul VI).
