Bob Simon on The Middle East Conflict

On a Charlie Rose interview last night, Bob Simon's view is chillingly honest.  He speaks about Gaza, the West Bank, the 'settlements' and the politics involved.  How to solve this problem is contingent on…the settlers?  compassion?  sharing? trust?  This has to be a serious Tikkun Olam!
