Maybe this is sufficient reason for the world and especially for the U.S. to reassess its attitude toward the disaster of this conflict. I can't see a solution to the Palestinian problem without the Palestinians participating. I don't see why the Soviets should be out of it, why Europe should be out of it, why people should be left...
