The settlements are not the obstacle to peace. Ask most of the settlers and the majority already says they`re will to give up their homes for true peace.
The problem is that the Palestinians have never endorsed the 2-state solution in Arabic to their own people. There is no Palestinian "Peace Now". There is no Palestinian peace movement at all.
There can`t be peace until the Palestinians figure out who is running their show: Fatah or Hamas.
Fatah says they want peace. Hamas says they definitely do NOT want peace.
Hands up: who thinks Hamas would win the next elections?
Funny...everybody seems to think Hamas will.
Settlements have nothing to do with it.
