It’s so easy for armchair critics living in safety to find fault, tear things down, scoff. Would they prefer war to continue, more Palestinians die? Of course the deal is risky, flawed, lacks details. But, in our imperfect world, this is what we got, and I’d rather it succeed, than the alternative.

I have impression that many people deriding deal secretly hope it will fail so that they will be proved right; even though that means more death and destruction for Pal’ns. I agree with most of the comments about what “should” be. But, in imperfect world with only bad options, this is least bad.
