From this post. Some hypothetical scenarios:

- The Palestinians stop the terror bombing, completely. At least a year goes by. Maybe two. How would the Israelis respond? Would they still be running tanks into Palestinian areas? Would they crack down on Palestinians even worse? Would they increase or decrease the arrests? Would they be more or less likely to negotiate?



- Now. The Israelis buy the Saudi Peace Plan lock, stock and barrel. All Israeli citizens move back to the pre-1967 borders. The settlements in the new Palestinian territory are abandoned, or destroyed. The tanks go home. The soldiers leave. The Palestinians now have all the land they had then. As if the 1967 war had never happened.

Do the Palestinian bombings stop?

The current leadership of the Palestinians, of which Arafat is just part, will accept nothing less than the entire region of Palestine, swept free of the Jews. This is a hard, solid fact, obvious to anyone.
