the price of peace

Just a quick posy today as I am busy working on a paper due at midnight. While reading the paper this morning I ran across a story of an Israeli citizen that was offering 1 million dollars to the prime minister of Palestine if they would sit down and talk with the Israeli government. The idea was quickly killed by the Israeli government but it sounded like Hamas was actually considering it.

This raised a few issues with me. The first is how bad is the conflict getting when private citizens are offering their own money to kick start negotiations. The second is how desperate for funds is Hamas to actually be considering the offer.

I think it is bad that the Israeli Gov't doesn't realize what you have realized
