...taken Israelis and Palestinians 19 months of deadlock, and eight days of non-stop negotiations, to achieve an interim deal that does little more than implement the next "land-for-peace" stage of the Oslo agreement.

Crosetto also underestimates the importance of non-violent social protest. He warns that public demonstrations such as Harvard's gathering on National Coming Out Day only "hurt [homosexuals'] chances for public acceptance."
