Increasingly, morer and more of the international community disagrees with you. First, Hizbollah is not, yet, the government of Lebanon. As for Hamas, Europeans are already in discussion with some of its leaders and they have agreed to a 10 yr truce with israel which is a starting point for a long term state of non-belligerence. Abbas has adhered to his signed agreements with the US. Israel has not. Israel has, until now hardly had its arm twisted. It has rather twisted the words it committed to in its agreements with the US. Peace Now, as well as other israeli and non-Israeli groups have proven how Israel has consistenly been violating the common understanding of what it agreed to in its negotiations with the US, regarding settlements and now a two state solution, which Israel clearly does not want. The "Arab world" has accepted the existence of Israel, led by Egypt and jordan with Syria to follow if isral gives up, with security assurances, its annexation of Golan.
