If Hamas got their wish and Israel was wiped off the face of the planet, do you think they'd be satisfied?

Dont think so, they would then enjoy their victory and move on......look at Roman times e.g.

Hammas IS the Palestinian government. Anyway, no. They VOTED for Hammas and its destroy Israel policy. Anyone got any thoughts on how you make peace with someone who wants you dead? Neither do I, except of course, you defeat them.

I think as an american I accept that the people wanted hamas, that doesn't mean that I have to support that decision. I also think that aid should be shut off because what hamas does to the peace process.

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.

The UN said it was theirs.  If the Palestinians had chosen peace in 1948, they would have a country too.  But they chose to fight, got whipped, and lost whatever rights they had to Israel by right of conquest by a defender.  Suck it up and go live in Jordan.  Or Lebanon.  Or Syria.  Or Egypt.  \n\nIf they will have you.  Otherwise, tough ****

if we pulled our aid from palestine...well it probably would have little effect, outside of non-profits, the support our government gives them is largely nill and imaginative.\n\nas for isriel...well that might be a different story.  but then i would like to think we have given them enough already that they can stand on their own two feet by now.

Yes. We would be happy to see the Iranians set off a nuclear bomb in their country. (Their country being Iran)

Israel as a country will probably not be wiped from the earth, but satan would love nothing better than to destroy the whole Hebrew race.  Satan is crafty but sometimes a little hide bound.  He thinks Jesus will come again for the Jews.  So satan believes if he can destroy the whole race then Jesus will never come again and he,satan, will not get his punishment.\n\nSo I guess I agree with Pastor Hagee.  He is a little gruff sometimes though.

They are willing to share.  But every time you try to share, you get attacked.  Most of the Gaza and West Bank were acquired because their neighbors attacked first.  It is kind of hard to appreciate a situation where your neighbors attack you and lose territory and hear them complain.

Yes,they will some day...And let's hope that they are going to wake up before it's not too late...\nI think that after the war in Lebanon people have started to realize that Israel is not exactly the victim there...and have started to see Israel's real face...\nBut unfortunately as long as Israel has US full support there is not much we can do about it...

That would be great.  However, Hamas is a terrorist group, not likely to honour any peace treaties.  The situation is so sad.  Progress was looking like a possibility, but the election of Hamas has set peace back.  For how long?  And leading to how much death?

If the Arabs put down their weapons, there will be peace.\n(If Israel puts down its weapons there will be no more Israel...)

no, i'm hopeful, but it seems so unlikely...and not either side is 100% innocent...but seems that israel is intentionally setting goals and demands for the palestinians to meet in order for hopes of peace that they know they can't do, or make it impossible for them to achieve.  ruining their land, burning farms, bulldozing, shooting people in the streets is not way to allow that area to stabilize and police itself.  several years ago israel kept saying, like they are now, that they need to get police out and stop the militants, but with the occupation, they would shoot at anybody even the police, making it impossible to their job..so its very much like palestine gets set up to fail, add to that all the frustration and hate coming from the palestinians and its a candle and powder keg.

Why is Israel a rogue terror state? because it defends itself from an enemy that openly says that it will wipe them off the face of the Earth? i do not condone several of the decisions that Israel has made, but at least they have never wiped someone off the face of the earth.

Apparently that's all they want anyway.\n\nIf the world ended tomorrow, they would rest easy, knowing that the right is to blame and will never win the next election.

Id support Israel doing it if it felt threatened.

What's changed?  The only difference now is they're in govermental leadership positions.  It's kind of hard to change your position when you believe that Israel should be pushed into the ocean.  Think on the bright side how much more extreme can Hamas get?
