Are Palestinians going to get their own country soon, specially now that Hammas won?

Israeldevelop a new policy in Palestine issue with Şaron's last gov't: ONE SİDED PEACE , in so İsrael withdraw from Gaza Stript and some areas of West Bank. this  withdraw is not about Mahmod Abbas or his gov't political success. Kadima will continue this policy and will withdraw from some part of West Bank additionally. Of course Palestinians own country will established, otherwise İsrael will never feel in secure. But the real problem is not the establisment of PAlestinian country but mainly the REFUGEE problem, THE BORDER OF THE PALESTINIAN STATE,and THE STATUE OF JURASALEM. to sum up Israel doesn't want to negotiate with HAMAS and its state policy doesn't need onether side... Because Israel want to draw Palestian sate border on its own self..

Nothing much.  Looks like Israel has already made a relatively smooth transition to the next guy.\n\nWhat's far worse is having Hamas in charge of the Palestinian Authority.  I can understand what those people were thinking but honestly, what the heck were they thinking?

There already is a Palestinian State and it's Jordan which is 2 3rds Palestinian\n\nI think Israel should annex all so called occupied Territories into Israel and burn the members of Hamas at stake.

I have to admit that I knew nothing about Nagorno-Karabagh until motivated to read about it from your question.\n\nThe only insight that I could offer is that because of the tension in the mid-east and a general antipathy against muslims in the west, I would think that this is the moment to garner Western attention to Nagorno Karabagh's plight.  Even Turkey which is trying to gain entrance to the EU would probably not like to rock the boat.\n\nIf N-K is going to gain independence, there probably is not a time more propitious than the present.

Yes. If they take over Palestine fully, then the problem will be solved once for all.  Or the entire middle eastern countries where there are problems for more than 5 years,  where there are so many terrorist problems, should be taken over for administration by the combined armed forces of US, UK, Germany, France, China, India, Japan and Russia, without any self interest by these countries.

i support zionism.  everybody deserves a home, but where can the jewish people go?  now they have Isreal, so they should keep it.  but that land was arab land, taken from other people.  who has the right to decide who gets what land? well, mabey superpowers :).  i am truely happy for the jewish people that they finally got a place to call home after thousands of years of hardship and opression.  i hope Isreal lives a long and prosperous life as on of the only civilized countries in the Middle East region.

Whether there was an official country is irrelevant (unless i am misunderstanding the point of these posts)  I would be quite pissed.  Of course, since it has happened and doesn't appear to be chainging anytime soo, the other arab countries could QUITE easily give a little land and money to the displaced people.  I often told my grandmom, How would you feel if a bunch of native americans knocked on your door and said, "we have this 2,000 year old book that says this neighborhood is ours, get out"?  And making the desert bloom is ALSO inconsequential.  I suppose that means we can just kick poepl out of the desert in Arizona if they aren't working hard enough and hand it over to another group of people?  It's their home whether it has a name or is blooming or whatever.

I sympathize with the plight of the Palestinian people, but politically I believe that they're wrong and are never going to get what they want. The problem with the Palestinians' position is that they insist on the destruction of Israel. I think the Palestininians should get their own country, but not at the expense of the destruction of Israel.

i beleive it should be. america britian and israel need to reconize that people have diff cultures and diff views this is what is left of the palestinians land that was stolen from them. so if america is true to their word then they should have to reconize a democratic vote taken by the palestinian people. these three countries want to control the middle east. they did not do like in afghanistan and appoint a president. did u know the afghani president worked here in texas for bushes oil company? here had no political knowledge before hand. sorry to say it but in america if u are not with america u are against it and considered a terrorist. no matter what we try to say about freedom there is no such thing.

Well I put my self in the Palestinians shoes and if some person took my land and made me live like a refugee in my country I would be pritty defensive to put it lightly. Especially if people born in other countries like the US came and tryed to say its there land because they are Jewish, WHAT? its a faith not a right to take some poor Palestinians land.

No. I think Hammas must be made to recognize Israel as a state, but at the same time, Israel needs to remove themselves back to the pre-1967 borders. I am not saying that the U.S. needs to get involved militarily, but rather as an arbitrator. Whomever kidnapped that 19 yr. Israeli soldier needs to be taken to trial, Hammas needs to denounce violence and recognize Israel, and Israel needs to retreat back to the original borders set by the U.N. in 1948.

No, many arabs enjoy citizenship, with full voting, working, etc. rights, just like israeli citizens. Palestine is a seperate territory, with seperate laws, etc. The problem is that Palestinians demand  working rights, etc. that they don't legally have. Imagine if Mexicans DEMANDED the same rights that you have. Uh oh, they kinda are, aren't they?

There is no ethical reason for Israel to have their own state in the Middle East. Why should they have been allowed to just come in and take land away from the Palestinian people? If every race of people who have lost land in historical wars were allowed to just come back, then California does belong to Mexico; the American Indians own The U.S.; Northern France belongs to England; Greece owns Cyprus, southern Italy, and Bosnia... The difference with this situation is there was no war for land to be won. The Zionists just came in, with some minor support from Europe, and took the land. If the Ottoman Empire had chosen to be against Germany in World War I, Palestine would never have come under British control, and the Zionists could have never pressured Parliament to encourage a Jewish migration. Once the Holocaust happened during World War II, a complete and udder disgrace for all humankind, the Zionists had the upper hand, and with Europe domination in the Middle East, they had no problem setting up Israel as a State. Things could have been alright, but some of Israel's leaders wanted to create an Israeli State that controlled lands owned by Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and of course, Palestine. If they had just stayed within their borders, everything would be a lot less violent. Bottom line is, the land belonged to Palestine before Europe gave it to the Israelis.

Probably because of all the killing, occupation etc.\n\nPeople should definitely NOT be worried about Hamas getting more political power in Palestine.  They apparently won the election, and this is a good thing because it's a terrorist group which is now able to achieve their political goals peacefully through democracy.  I predict that they will simply change from a terrorist group to a political party and eventually they'll tone down their "destroy Israel" rhetoric.\nGreat!

I think Ehud Olmert would, but it would be temporary. In any case, elections are right around the corner, so I don't know how important it would be.

The Palestinian people elected Hamas (a terrorist group) as their government.  I think this is called "cause and effect".  You elect terrorists into your government and the people who gave you aide will stop giving.\n\nSeems pretty simple to me.

Palestinians been living there since we know time.  Now there comes militans Zionst Jews claiming it was there land 5000 years ago.  Zionsts came with major fire power and snatched it away from Palestininans.  What if I came to your house and told you I used to own this land 5000 years ago and I have God given rights, what would you do?
