Israel should make no concessions, take no inititatives until there has been movement from theother side towards a compromise peace with Israel. If the Obama Administration does not like that, they ought to put pressure on Israel's enemies to make peace. There is nothing Israel can do to bring about peace, except commit suicide, which is not an acceptable option (although it may be to the Arabist Obamabots now dominating policy making in the Obama Administration).
