Krauthammer's analysis stands well on it's own to make the point I want to make: Israel is NOT the intransigent one in this 'middle east peace problem'. Israel is NOT the one keeping that region of the world from making progress toward having a Palestinian state and relative peace. The Palestinians (indeed, it appears, most Muslims) will only agree to steps that move the world closer to annhilation of the Jewish state.
Palestinians had their best chance at genuine progress toward statehood and real peace three years ago (with encouragement and assistance from the Bush administration) as a result of the most significant Israeli unilateral(!) concessions ever. A rational person would expect the Palestinians to make some positive gesture in return if they had any inclination to accept a two-state solution.
If you're wondering what's really going on and why, Krauthammer has a rational assessment based on facts you won't hear in the mainstream media:
