It appears that Dubya et al sorta get this - may they continue to realize how much a propaganda war this is, and how little a conventional one..

Israel - mistakes, warts and all - has to be the most experienced in daily living out the constant nearby presence of those who: rejected many forms of past possible agreements toward accommodation, at least one of these including redrawing of the map to near pre-67 standards.

The stated POV of their most vociferous opponents is: utter annihilation of Israel and contents. (No one knows how an honest plebiscite of actual Arabs as call selves Palestinians, would go: we hear only from the bellicose 'leaders' via self-appointment and intrigue.)

We here, may be at the beginning of comprehending how it is - to be in such a position, to retain humanitarian values AND *survive* too.. that's all.
