What makes this so difficult is that there are people on both sides (both a minority) who engage in violent acts and then cite religion in connection with these acts. I mourned when Yitzak Rabin was assassinated. We were so close to an agreement! I do agree that the Palestinians need to seriously crack down on Hamas and any other organization, because ultimately they're the ones suffering for the actions of Hamas. Likewise the Israelis should focus more on eliminating terrorists and less on punishing the every day people. I honestly don't understand why it is necessary to separate the two peoples.
