On the 'seriousness' of achieving peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

The more times those who proclaim a genuine interest in brokering peace between Israel and the Palestinians declare a 'seriousness' about initiating and perpetuating peace, without insisting on sacrifices from both sides and honestly and steadfastly backing this insistence, so will a hardening of resolve on both sides continue. The Israelis will see no need to make sacrifices for peace. The Palestinians feeding off the hopelessness of their situation, will see no need to make sacrifices either.
