There will never be peace in the middle east. Not in the next 5 years, not after the US leaves, probably not even after Israel or Palestine take each other out. Unlike us westerners who don't take religion quite as seriously, the easterners fight holy wars over the most petty things.

Yes, There is absolutely no doubt about it, the veil has been removed; Israel is a Jewish Extremist Terrorist State that behaves like a democracy but is in reality an Apartheid entity. \n\nIt occupies Palestinian lands in the name of "Birth Right" for Orthodox Jews believe they are Yahweh’s (God's) "Chosen People" and were therefore "Promised" the land of Palestine approximately 4000 Years ago.\n\nAlthough this might have been true then, the Same God of Moses, Sent Jesus. Jesus tried to make the Jews return to the path of God, which had been altered by some bad Jews from the Jewish People. Many of the Jews accepted Jesus, but the arrogant ones refused, and collaborated with the Roman Empire soldiers to get him, but they failed. The Mighty Lord, Capable of EVERYTHING Took him away and made the Jews think that he was "Put on the Cross", hence the crucifixion. \n\n600 Years later, The Lord sent His Angel Gabriel, The Lord's Mercy be upon Him, to his Singled out Prophet in the Desert City of Mecca in Al Hijaz in the Arabian Peninsula. Many Christians and some Jews accepted Prophet Mohammed's message, Peace of the Lord be upon him and all God's Prophets. Christians, Jews and Pagans accepted God's final messenger to Mankind and those are the people who are Muslim today, More than 1.4 Billion Muslims world-wide and rising.\n\nThe land of Palestine, in the mean time, was inhabited by normal tribes and peoples from all over the region and the world. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together side by side on the land even throughout the Ottoman Empire rule up until things began to get nasty up in the heads of certain Jewish Extremists who call themselves, the Zionists. \n\nThe Zionists started more than a century ago to seriously pursue establishing a homeland for their own and they started to buy politicians and fool others into subscribing to their false "Jewish Supremacy over Palestine" ideology.\n\nThe Muslims, although great achievers for the past 13 decades, were in the late 1800's and early 1900's suffering from a general Malaise caused by corruption and ignorance and the lack of advancements. \n\nThe last Sultans of the last Islamic Empire, the Ottoman Empire, were too busy with internal politics and holding their weakening Empire together, to the extent that they could no longer function at a sufficient capacity to ensure the protection of all lands.\n\nThe Zionist came in as the Muslims were weak, and became stronger when the British and French took over the Islamic Federal State of the Levant (Which today is divided into Syria, Lebanon Palestine and Jordan). \n\nBalfour, The infamous British Criminal Foreign Minister, promised the Zionists a "Jewish Homeland" in the land of Palestine. He wasn't at right to promise that which he doesn't own, of course, because It wasn't the British's land for them to give it away.\n\nSo, the Zionists actually believed themselves, and they believed that they now have a State of Israel. They tricked thousands of Jews into coming from their countries to this foreign country of Palestine. \n\nThey succeeded. And the unsuspecting Muslim and Christian Palestinians were overwhelmed with this sudden ferocious attack against them. The Zionists were capable of using their European connections (where most of them came from) to bring in large supplies of Machine guns, APC's (Armored Personnel Carriers) and even airplanes. They bombed Palestinian towns (back then, Palestinians at the most, had those old WWI single round shotguns).\n\nThe Palestinians were a people living under Ottoman Rule, as part of the Ottoman country, just like Iowans, Californians, are living under US federal law. The Jews claim that there was no Palestinian State. that's what they like to say to themselves and to others, to justify their crime of course. But they're absolutely lying and clearly out of line with true

because we always support the passive underdog...israel is not calling for the extermination of arabs..is it..???..if the arabs would go about their business without bothering israel or supporting terrorists that want to annihilate it, they might be able to get along better with us...why all this WE have to get along with THEM..?? getting along is a 2 way street

Yes, it does.  God also told Abraham that both of their descendants would have continual strife between them.  And still people wonder why peace in the Middle East will never be achieved.

I think it is very foolish to blindly support Israel. The Arab/Muslim world's voice is ignored, and while this is being done, we will NEVER have world peace. (Here it comes: I am going to be branded a nazi anti-semite.... again, which I am NOT) I am saying: Let's LISTEN to what they have to say. I am not proposing the destruction of Israel, but sadly, Israel is regarded as a bastion of western democracy by some in the west, but as a cancer by most in the Arab/Muslim world, and the ONLY solution is to sit down and LISTEN to EVERYBODY'S view.\nI have had people writing to me pointing out that Egypt is a shining example of the acceptance of Israel in the Middle East;\nwhat a misconception, while they are receiving billions of dollars from the US, they are only paying lipservice to this socalled acceptance. The people in the Middle East allege that the state of Israel was IMPOSED on them, (which is partly true) and this will remain a festering sore in the search for peace in the region. Certain interest groups in the Western world have equated the call for a serious and analytical look a the situation as being 'anti-semitic' (the 'last taboo', as mentioned in the question.) While this 'equation' is heeded by western leaders, terrorism will flourish. Israel is acting like a little boy whose older brother is the strongest in the the school, and by extension, the little brat is going around doing whatever he likes, knowing that his BIG brother will protect him.\nWe should ask ourselves: For how long are we going to allow this situation to continue? Until we are FORCED to sit down and LISTEN, or until we have a war between religions? Is it too much to ask to LISTEN?

That's a great question. If somebody knows that, they should be \nheads of state. \n\nAbout the Palestinian business: \nThe solution that is mostly accepted by both sides (but there is still a lot of disagreement on that) is the formation of a Palestinian state (which already happened, basically) alongside Israel. \nThis means that there should be a border between the states that can be guarded against terrorist intrusions, which makes a lot of Israelis happy. It also means that Palestinians get to decide their own fate, which should make them happy too. In reality, we still have a long way to go before anybody's satisfied with this. \n\n\nAbout Iran:\nBasically, Iran will have to recognize the state of Israel and stop supporting anti-Israeli terrorist groups. \n\nAs it is now, the Iranian president keeps telling the world that Jews should go back to Europe. Also, Iran has been supporting anti-Israeli terrorist groups(and Hezbollah) and developing medium range attack capabilities that can reach Israel. All that will have to stop before there are any talks between the nations.\n\nIdeologically Israel doesn't have much of a problem with Iran as a state, except that now Iran is the main strategic threat, as it's developing nuclear capabilities. Nobody on the Iranian side is willing to give up the nuclear program, one possible solution would be Israeli intervention, like the bombing of the Iraqi reactor, only this time it's much more difficult to do.\n\nAbout Asia:\nI guess you mean more about China. These days China depends more on oil from the Arab nations, so offically it should take the Arab side in every dispute. However, they also rely a lot on Israel for help in technology, agriculture etc. and there is a lot of respect for the "jewish mind" in China, so they can serve as mediators accepted by both sides. The Chinese are not easily deterred by the Arab oil embargos, for some reason, and makes them very useful in helping Israel in negotiations and "behind the scenes"

I hope so.  If not Israel can deal with it themselves.  Any country that can defeat three countries in seven days is not a country I would want to mess with.

Yes there is and there will be.\n\nThe cure is Justice. Without Justice there will be no compassion. Without Compassion, there will be mayhem and destruction.\n\n\nOccupied Palestine must become free, and a large chunk of the terrorism will be over. Palestinians want thier freedom, the 1.3 BILLION Muslims and 290 Million Arabs want Palestinians' freedom aswell, trust me, i'm like in the Middle East more than I am here, if Palestine becomes free, Muslims and Arabs will not have a reason to fight, because it's as simple as this, they're angry that a fellow country is under US supported Jewish extremists (there's no hiding it, Zionism IS a form of Jewish extremism) occupation.\n\nEnd the occupation, end the "global terrorism".\n\nWar is a form of terrorism too, we're in the business too aren't we???

This is a thorny question one that no one has found an acceptable compromise to. The begining or Israeli and Palestinian strife came around the end of World War 2. Before then the state of Israel was not even in existance but through lobbying by prominent jews in America and due to a British promise to set up a homeland for displaced European Jews, the state of Israel was founded in Palestine in the British Mandate. Isreal has based this on the pretext that Isreal is the promised land that Moses led the Jewish tribes to after the Exodus and during the time of Babylon and Rome the people were once again exiled by the new conqurers and this the Jews have been a displaced people within Europe ever since. One argument that Israel was founded illegally on land that has already been inhabited by Arabs and thus they are the occupying force and displacing the Arabs. Israelis content that it is their right to have a homeland in the promised land and thus justified for occupation. The animosity intensified after Israel declared independance and thus 6 adjacent Arab states declared war to prevent the formalization of a Zionist state in the Midst of an Arab sea. Isreal prevaled and even captured larger tracts of territory which included the Sinai Peninsular from Egypt, Golan Heights from Syria and small tracts from lebanon. The Yom Kippur War later was proven to be a Israeli victory. Finally Egypt sign a peace treaty through the Camp David Accord whereby Sinai was returned to Egypt and formal recognization of Isreal was acknowledge. At present Palestine consists of the Gaza strip and the West Bank, Jerusalem is still a contested site whereby both states claim it as their capital. Years of infighting from the Hezbollah led by Yasser Arrafat which uses guerilla tactics and suicide bombers targetting US and Israeli sites have seen retaliation by Israel through forced demolition and targeted killing of 'terrorists/freedom fighters'. Also zealots and ultra orthodox jews erecting squatters within clearly marked territories belonging to the Palestine has caused frictions. To date both sides are still at war and peace accords don't last as seen by the last roadmap to peace initiative. It would seem only a miracle would unite these two foes together in peace.

Is peace humanly possible?  Yes.\n\nWill it happen in between Israel and the Palestinians?  Not in the way things are currently being run:\n   - Palestinian's Rulung Party, the Hamas, have demanded control over thier own land for the last 39 years (since 67), now that Israel has removed thier citizens from Gaza, Hamas has celebrated its freedom, but complains that Israel will not let thier people travel to and from... which is funny because they admitt their goal is to eliminate the Israelis alltogether.  \n\nSo if peace was to happen... both sides would have to prove to one another they were serious about peace.  This isn't some perfect world, so it is not like the Israeli governement would be willing to just lay down all thier arms in order to establish peace with the Palestinians... they know the second they do that Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq would attach full-force.  So it will havce to be a slow process of give and take with the Palestinians and the Israelies each giving up thier rights in order to establish peace.  \n\nWith Hamas in control of Palestinian areas, it won't happen though.

I don't know but it is a possibility.  In the late 1980's the Israeli Air Force flew across Jordanian airspace to blow up the reactor that Saddam was using to create weapons-grade plutonium in Iraq.  In short, the Israelis are poised to anything to survive and we should help them as much as we can.

well i am not an arabian girl but my great-great-great grandma was. anyways i am a muslim and for me the only way to resolve it is through unity. the people of the middle east have to unite cos the more they fight each other the better chances for other nations to fire up the dispute. you know it is common sense. US and other nations who are at war there are making it worse only because the middle eastern people could not control themselves. if they really want to fight, it is the israelis and US armies that they have to worry about. it is their nation, i mean middle eastern people and middle eastern land. really it is up to them to solve it. and for the rest of the world it is definitely not worth it to go there and worsen the dispute. stay united and tolerate each other for your nation and for the next generation. i hope i will be able to see the end of this problem cos i feel sad to see innocence die and hatred prevail.

Ehud Barak offered Yassir Arafat 98% of everything he ever said he wanted during the Oslo peace accords and he refused.  During negotiation or arbitration, the opposing sides normally come to a conclusion somewhere in the middle of the 2 positions.  Arafat and the Palestinians want one thing: to drive every last Jew into the Mediterranean Sea.  They made it plain as day in Oslo.  There could have been peace over a decade ago and it wasn't Israel who said no, my friend.
