Personally I feel we're at the stage of "there's nobody to talk to", not because the Palestinian in the street doesn't want peace- most of them probably want it worse then the average Israeli, but because there is no central leadership that our leadership can talk to and can enforce whatever decisions it makes.
Exactly. So the people in Sderot and all of Otef Aza are suffering daily - really, they're living in a very literal war zone - and it's... I mean, what are we supposed to do? No, it's not possible to shield the entire strip of land and city. And there's no one to talk to on the other side. So it's basically either turning a blind eye which is betraying the residents of Sderot, or voicing threats and not following through on them, or voicing threats and actually following through on them, which leads to hurting population, to the IDF drowning in a Gaza swamp all over again, and to no solutions whatsoever. It's so frustrating, and the State, I feel, is helpless. There's not one move it can make that I would wholeheartedly support.
