I think if both sides were against terrorist groups, then yes. Peace should be possible.
Israel says killing Arafat an option

Because those unexplained explosions wouldn't have been potential bomb makers and/or suicide bombers that blew themselves up a wee bit early, would it?
Probably it will not be possible to the Palestinian side go against its own people. Probably there a many militants groups and they work with distributed independent cells.RussSchultz said:
Remenber, you call them terrorists but their people probably call them heroes. edited: To their people the fact they commited atrocity is minor compared to their allegated motivations. You will find atrocity from other countries too.
IMHO we should see it as a thermodynamic problem. Take the heat of the water and we have less probability of bubbles until it cool down. Dont expect a ceasefire to have an instantaneous effect.
What is needed is cool down things and have peace.

It's simple pascal, both side tried to make truce. What you imply for one side can be applied to the other. You don't expect a reaction form Israel? I mean, you said "In june 29 the militants groups unilaterally called for a ceasefire but the Israeli troops carried out several deadly arrest raids and assassinations during the unilateral truce, prompting revenge attacks by militants. Looks like an Israel fault." and Russ shows you the recent history and that its not just one sided but you continue to act as if the the faults not on both sides by saying "...but at least one side tried to make a ceasefire."!
Yes, there probably are. Point being what? Who started it first? Come on, their both a fault!
I guess it largely depends on whether you consider groups like Hamas to be a legitimate Palestinian armed force, or a terrorist group.
Personally, I see those groups as _all_ Palestine has. Israel has the 6th largest military in the world, Palestine has emaciated boys throwing rocks.
Heck, no one called the American fighters 'terrorists' back in the British Colonial days.. weren't they 'patriots'?

You can say that both have their problems but only one side (the less educated and organized side) said explicitlly that wanted truce and tried to start the process.
Also see my post above. My guess Israel will never take the heat of the water.
Also Abbas quit because:
Yeah, he had internal problems with Arafat and others but the fundamental issue for him was "Israel's unwillingness to implement its road map commitments and to undertake any constructive measures." Now Israel says the problem is mainlly Arafat.
