Oh yes, there will be blood.

I don't think the Israeli's did well in their recent elections, mostly because every noteworthy party was favoring rewarding violence with land.

"I don't think Olmert wants to negotiate," said an old cigarette seller called Abu Wa'el. "He'll say what Sharon used to say - that there's no Palestinian partner for peace."

Considering that the palestinians elected hamas, a terrorist group devoted to the destruction of Israel, I think it's fairly safe to say that peace is not what the palestinians are looking for in their relationship with Israel.

There is more, of course, such as the leader of hamas saying that israel's attempt to appease palestinians by giving them land is "a declaration of war against the palestinian people."

Goe, wonders why people still think a peaceful solution exists.
