two majority want
You can set up whatever negotiations or structure you want, but until the Palestinians are willing to accept the fact, as the majority of Israelis do, that there should be two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, we won't have peace.

These new hearings, these new subpoenas wave a red flag that common sense and common wisdom are not welcome here, ..
