First of all, Rice isn't visiting "Palestine" as your headline asserts. There is no nation, city-state, whatever, called "Palestine". If you wish to fashion your own de facto "country" where there isn't one and has never been one, that's your prerogative, but please label your article "FICTION" because it certainly isn't factual news.
Second, the peace process isn't stalled due to "violence between the two sides". It is stalled because of terrorist acts that are committed by Muslims in the territories against Israelis on a daily basis. If Israel were to adopt the Muslim’s tactics and randomly launch volleys of rockets into Muslim population centers, or send suicide bombers to blow themselves up among Muslims in a marketplace or restaurant or city bus or mosque, or ambush and strafe school buses filled with children, then that could be reasonably termed "violence between the two sides". Instead, the peace process is stalled due to “continued violence by the Muslims against Israeli civilians”.
Can you imagine the world public outcry if Israel were to use the same terrorist tactics as the Muslims?
