" Cohen also confirms the key fact that not all Palestinians are the enemies of Israel – something I have documented for more recent times. This offers cause for hope; indeed, were the 20 percent of Palestinians who accept Israel expanded to 60 percent, the Arab-Israeli conflict would close down. Such a Palestinian change of heart – and not more "painful concessions" by Israel – should be the goal of every would-be peacemaker."

This means that the conflict will never close down .

As long as Israel considers a free Palestinian state living side by side a " Painful concessions" , Acceptance of The Palestinians to Israel will diminish below what it is now, in fact i believe that the 29% is very much exaggerated .
