How much land does Israel want? and what do really want?

The problem is that the Arabs can't be trusted. In arabic there's no actual word for compromise as we in the west understand the meaning. Also, within the Palestinian leadership there are factions and factions within those factions. Arab societies are based on family, clan and tribe. A 'leader' outside of your tribe or even clan doesn't rate the loyalty as is common among western governments where authority comes from a written constitution. Israel could sign any number of treaties, but the treaties would apply only to those that signed the treaties....those clans or tribes that rejected the treaties would feel free to continue military operations and more than likely would attack those that did sign on to a treaty. We saw this in Gaza when Hamas defied the government in the West Bank and continued firing rockets into Israel even after Israel withdrew from Gaza. To the Israelis the palestinians are much like a chronic disease...it can be treated but it can't be cured. I suspect that the arabs feel the same way about Israel...so while some factions on both sides may want 'peace' and some are willing to discuss it, the time simply isn't right. It won't be 'right' for another generation. Ehud Barak, a former Prime Minister of Israel suggested a land for peace swap....it didn't happen. Barack Obama has suggested exactly the same thing....that won't happen either. There may be another war, but no matter what, there won't be any kind of fair dealing or sustainable treaty. One side can't make peace and be secure, the other can't make peace because of their culture. History moves on.
