The Palestinians have to accept their defeat

Until the Palestinians accept a two state solution which the Israelis have already done, any cease fire arranged is short sighted, ill conceived, and will never last.

The Palestinians have to reach the conclusion that they are in fact defeated (Israel can't be destroyed). All other talk of what a ceasefire 'might achieve' is useless amusing 'chatter'.
