I'd like to emphasise the unilateralism of Israel's actions. Because really, that's where the problem is at. It's not that there isn't a "peace partner", it's that Israel isn't interested in making real compromises. We can't leave unilaterally because that means leaving a destitute infrastructure and as much as we resent it, the Palestinians depend on Israeli infrastructure (in Gaza and the WB the currency in the NIS).
The rockets come because Israel isn't willing to accept the fact that the Palestinians chose a party and movement that won't pander to Israel and the US... and Israel just won't have that.
Bottom line, Israel has the massive fire power and is on a mighty hight horse. A little humility will go along way to keep at bay the humiliation. Because is there's one thing everyone knows, this will not end well and will not solve anything. It will entrench the Palestinians deeper and deeper into despair and that will bring about even greater disaster for everyone.
