This is the root cause of the infitada:
Casualties That and the continued net expansion of Palestinian Occupied Territories by the Israeli Settlers costing innocent Palestinian lives and their homes and businesses.
The Palestinians and other Arabs didn't all of a sudden wake up and say: "You know, I should sacrifice my life in a suicide bombing attemp because I'm jealous of the Democracies of Israel and the US."
Barak's proposal wasn't even an honest one for the Palestinians. No one would settle for that.
Edit....
BTW, the minority fanatics in Israel will guarantee the eventual destruction of Israel.
Edit again....
This does not mean I'm anti- Israel, far from it. Israel should withdraw from the Occupied territories back to the '67 borders, then build their wall. Call the West Bank as Palestine and allow the commercial and residential build up of those areas. Allow the Palestinians to build their own water salination plant so they can control their own water. Yeah, given a choice, they'll choose building and developing their own country over destroying another.
