I would disagree that Israel is willing to negotiate. I haven't seen anything that would indicate that they are any more willing to negotiate than the radical factions in Palestine.

I'm sure there are incidents you could point to where person X could've done a better job, etc. But at what point do you simply provide options: 1.) Peace. It means a negotiated settlement. Israel is willing to deal, has been for decades (since it's founding really), and is ready to talk right now. 2.) War. The result of the unwillingness or inability to do #1. If you choose war then there are going to be incidents of people behaving badly. Seems to me that if you don't have a partner to negotiate peace then the only option is a wall until that partner shows up. In other words, it seems like it would be a lot harder to find Palestinians that want negotiated peace than Israelis that want negotiated peace.
