"There are still no conclusions on Gaza. Hamas has not removed photos of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from some walls. Surpassingly, we were handed out black and white maps of Palestine.

On the map, Gaza and the West Bank were colored in black. Only two little black marks."

No conclusions, but a stark reality. A reality that many of us try and get across from our armchairs every day.

For some, they are stuck in 1948, or 1967, or even 1973 or Oslo or Clinton or Jimmy Carter.

The rest of us of course note these historical facts, but allow that today is what must be dealt with.

The reality is the Palestinians are still there, and they want their 23% of the land and a fair deal.

All sides are now on board.

It`s on Israel now.
