I thought this aritcle was very interesting. It seems hard to imagine that violence, war and othher past wrong-doing toward a group of people can be maid "all better" by a simple apology.
I think such an idea is made to seem noble but is not taken that way for those that have been offefnded or opressed for whatever reason. An apology or trade-off can never make things better especially in the situation involving Isreal and Palestine.
