How about a metaphor that casts *both *peoples is the *human *role? Could you adopt one of those instead?
Again with the excuses.
If neither party starts the process, the process will not get started. Nor, since this thread is nominally about the settlements, do they get to be dismissed as not having been “unilateral action by the Israelis”. The fact that reversing that action would also have to be unilateral does *not *constitute a reason not to do it. To claim it, as you seem to do, is not acceptance of responsibility for one’s own actions, much less one’s relations with one’s neighbor. The same can be said about walls and bulldozers too, by the way.
You have said nothing whatever to support that position, and quite a bit seemingly to the contrary, but it’s a relief to know you hold it anyway, I suppose. Now where are we to find that “good will”?
Mine? 
Scroll up and reread, if you will.
