Invite them to talk? Its been tried. What needs to be done is to induce them to take dictation.

Bibi has proudly declared how he sunk the Oslo accord during a cabinet meeting recently. Bibi wants land and water by any means necessary. And heaven help anyone who stands in his way. His words, not mine.

The real sticking point is and always will be Jerusalem, neither side will ever give way on this, the strange thing is that neither is right and neither is wrong, they both have good reasons to want to hold on to it. What’s needed is to have Jerusalem taken out of the game by making it an international city then there might be some hope of moving forward on other issues can be agreed on.
“But in Gaza, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri rejected the invitation.
“We ... consider this invitation and the promises included in it empty, and it’s a new attempt to deceive the Palestinian people and international public opinion,” he said.”
Hamas being its ever helpful self.
“Also invited is former British Prime Minister Tony Blair”
I find it strange that the Americans haven’t yet realised just what a joke this man is. What back room dirty deal will he make at this meeting I wonder.
Finally, can somebody please tell me what “This is the Pottery Barn rule” means? It might be a well know expression in the US but it is meaningless to the rest of us. Including this quote without some explanation is just poor and parochial writing.

No, the real sticking point is that the Zionist project, the Eratz Israel dreamed of by Theodore Hertzl will never concede land or peace to the original Palestinian people. Nor will successive "israeli" governments.
Quotations like the following are drilled into Israeli children's heads from the time they're small. Bibi is a good example: "When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle." Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.

That Eitan quote is incorrect. The full quote is:
On April 12, 1983 Eitan told Israel Radio that Palestinians who endanger cars on the road should be treated aggressively and their freedom of movement should be narrowed until they will be like "poisoned cockroaches in a bottle".
I think your sticking point is your anti-Israel project.
