How do you negotiate peace when the other party to the negotiation demands your death as it's only goal?

Question

Negotiation with Palestinians.

Answer 1

Give them the same option. Live peacefully with us or die mercilessly.

Answer 2

Their demand for death comes as a response for the massive cruelty practiced by the Israelis toward the Palestinians. They kill women and childern, tear down towns, destroy power plants, cut off water and food supplies and many other horrible acts. Plus how does a country with no military comfortably negotiate with one of the worlds largest military powers (US & Israel are one in the same)

Answer 3

With a 50 caliber machine gun and all the fine weaponry of the American military. The Brits learned the stupidity of the peace negotiation as they tried to do it with a guy named Adolf. We had to pull their fat out of the fire on that WWII stupidity. I can't see why we'd have to repeat that ignorance. God Bless you.

Answer 4

Excellent question. The answer is you can't. If they are willing and joyful about strapping on bombs for the sole intent of killing as many women, children and non-combatants as possible, firing off rockets with no directional capability. and then beg the world for aid, then there is no hope for negotiation.

Answer 5

One person at a time.....Here's a three-part answer:
a) Get to know the other party. Assuming, the two parties are human, you have more in common than you have differences. He who want's to kill you doesn't know you; nor do you know him.

b) stay focussed on a desire for peace. - in addition to saying one wants peace, one must clearly demonstrate a focus on it's attainment -- even if at times, the road is painful. You can dazzle the other party and cause him to re-evaluate who he believes you to be as he discovers more about you.

c) be prepared to accept a miracle when it arises.
