That response is childish. The point is to getting the killing stopped and the negotiating started, and the position I took would include Palestinians accepting that Jews have the right to be there and to live in peace and equality- and would essentially mean recognizing Israel.

Please stop pretending that the Palestinians are driven by unjustified bigotry and that the conflict is all or even MAINLY their fault. It isn't, and obsessing with making them say Netanyahu's exact, pointlessly petulant words achieves nothing.

Phraseology for phraseology's sake isn't worth keeping a war going- and Israelis have never been the primary victims in the conflict with the Palestinians.
