The part of the Palestinian population who wants peace are outnumbered by the part who don't (and who have guns). The part who don't want peace are the ones teaching the future generations of the part who wants peace. I'm glad you think a simple public mandate will help, but it will not. This is not a place where one side in a debate is willing to lose by words when they have guns. And sanctions will do nothing if they were ever applied, which they wouldn't. I don't have to go into the one sided details of the UN here.
