Time to Call Their Bluff!

Perception should not be underestimated. The international community, apart from the United States, regards the Palestinians as the underdog, thus worthy of compassion and support. I see no option but for Israel to call the Palestinians' bluff, relinquish land in exchange for peace, and then, if there are continued attempts to deny existence to the sovereignty of Israel, the world will have to face up to the underlying truth.
