Ceasefire

"The call [for Israel] to declare a ceasefire and sit down to unconditional negotiations without preconditions no longer sounds as good since the experience of those blood-soaked years after the Oslo accords. It has an anachronistic and irrelevant taste... To think that this would lead to quiet and bring a halt to the killing of Israelis is surprising in both its naiveté and its non-learning from experience. Once, my lot was with those who thought that if we would only be nicer, show more goodwill, be more humane and offer more concessions -- everything would be just fine. But the lesson that we learned, and which cost us so much blood, is that this 1960's-flower-children-who-have-not-really-matured approach... is so stupid in the perspective of what we have gone through, that the brain bubbles with astonishment at hearing such things."
