Let's also not forget that one of Israel's early Prime Ministers, Menachem Begin was a designated terrorist, and a member of a proscribed organisation (Irgun).
As with the Good Friday Agreement, if you don't include all parties, then any agreement can only be precarious at best.

If one doesn't accept that today's terrorists may potentially become peaceful political leaders, then we have learned nothing from history.
The idea may feel repugnant, but it comes down to whether one wants reconciliation and peace, (or at least an acceptance that compromise may be necessary) or revenge.
