"At a time when most in Israel are hoping for a fresh opportunity for peace with the Paleo-stinians, a rift is developing between the extremists and the rest of the Israeli people,"
Just how many times do "most" (who ever this "most" is the article is talking about) want to keep hoping for peace? The imaginary pals TELL them outright what they want, and its not peace, they arent even trying to hide the fact they are working towards Israel's destruction.
These same people would be the ones to wander into a lions den everyday and hope that today is the day they wont get bitten.
Albert had it right! Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Its insanity.
