Xanith first.

This is assuming both situations are the same. So you cant “clearly” say it is true or false now can you? You can make assumptions which you have “clearly” done. However another person can “clearly” claim these situations are not the same.
In an effort to introduce peace I thought that modern history of a similar albeit different situation would be worthwile. It is in my opinion that this is a valid comparison. These are circumstances that should not be taken lightly; any solution to reduce the deaths surely would be worthwhile - hence the analogy to the IRA/British Govt.

Israel has already said it would follow the roadmap to peace if the Palestinians do their part and reign in the terrorists
Well that is indeed a start. However, terrorists, generally are individuals within a small organisation. I would entirely agree if the terrorists were proven to be sponsored by the Palenstinian govt; which it never has been proven.

You can’t have a peace process with only 1 side making concessions and doing something to foster it.
I agree entirely. If both sides could simply agree to talk without condition life would be a hell of lot simpler.

. You haven’t said what you believe the Palestinians should do to show they are serious about peace with Israel.
You are correct. I inferrred it, but never stated it. I believe that both sides should come together regardless of the ongoing atrocities.

. I just want to hear what you think the Palestinians should do to further the peace process other than stopping the terrorist attacks which I know you think wouldn’t work.
I think I have now clarified my position
