The Arab countries could / still can have peace anytime they wish. They need to reconcile themselves with the idea of Jews as fellow human beings with a right to peace and independence in the Jewish homeland.

Ok, If you want to learn then let me start with a brief history. Palestine was occupied by the Zionists in consequent steps after the Balfour declaration in 1917. Since then the Palestinians (Muslims, Christians and Jews) have been in struggle to free their land from what was then called "Israel", yet they were always willing to accept any reasonable solution to the crisis as long as it takes into consideration their basic rights including the rights of 7 million Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in the so called "Israel", a right that is stated and ensured by the UN and international law. However, the Zionists want the whole Holy Land "Palestine" for them alone, and that's why they kept attacking Palestinians and committing massacres in them even after the 1948 war. In 1967 Israel took over the rest of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip) in addition to the Sinai desert from Egypt, the Golan heights from Syria, South of Lebanon and west of Jordan.\n\nThe Palestinian resistance never stopped and will never stop until the land is freed. Unfortunately the global media is mainly owned or run by Zionists who succeeded so far in hiding the truth of what is going on in Palestine from the rest of the world.\n\nWhatever the Palestinians do it should be understood as a resistance and fight for their just cause. How would you react to someone who would kick you out of your house and occupy it by force?! It is more of less the same thing.\n\nAlthough for Palestinians any Zionist living in their land is part of the brutal occupation, they the resistance groups (led by Hamas) agreed 18 months ago not to attack Israeli civilians (this does not include Settlers living in illegal settlements in the West Bank or Gaza Strip), an agreement which Hamas respected disregarding the thousands of violations of that agreement from Israel through the past 18 months. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago when Al-Qassam Brigades decided to stop the cease-fire after the Israeli army killed a whole family while they were enjoying their time on the beach of Gaza (I won't be surprised if you told me you haven't heard abou this massacre at all).\n\nAl-Qassam, along with other brigades, attacked a military point on the border of Gaza and captured an Israeli soldier from the site. Such an attacked is very justified considering the daily attacks of Israeli on Palestinian cities by tanks and air fighters, killing and injuring hundreds every month, if you are in the United States or in Europre then most likely you won't receive any news about these attacks as it the media duty their not to disturb your peace with such bloody news! If you don't believe me on this you can conduct your own research on who owns and runs the American media (including Fox news) and their political and ideological interests.\n\nIt is war, and inter-attacks on military forces from either sides should not be interfered by International law, specially when the one taking action this time are the people of the right, the Palestinians.\n\nThe Palestinian resistance groups captured an Israeli soldier, and what they asked for before they release him was to release around 500 women and children prisoners from the Israeli prisons. Is this too much to ask for? And has anyone asked themselves how did those go into prison at the first instance?! Israel justifies it by saying that even the children are terrorists!!! (And by the way, according to the Israeli law, a Palestinian is considered adult from age 16, so when we talk about children here we actually talk about les than 16)\n\nIn addition to those there are more than 12,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli Jails, some of them have been there for 30+ years many have been charged with hundreds-of-years sentences, just ridiculous!\n\nPalestinians would love to live in peace and take their kids to school and go to universities, but what would you say if you know that in average Palestinian stude

If that was the goal, they could have done it long ago.  No, the Israelis want nothing more than to live in peace and prosperity with all of their neighbors, including going so far as to create a new country out of their own land for the palestinians.  Unfortunately, this desire is completely one-sided.

Oh, you are so perceptive!  Yes, I think it is THE KEY.  For whatever reason, and rightly or wrongly, the Israelis are seen as the aggressors, and the USA is seen as the supporter of everything Israel does.  We give Israel more foreign aid than we give to anyone else, and the Arabs conclude that we could force Israel to do what we really wanted--therefore, whatever Israel does, the USA must be backing it.The Arab/Muslim world would not focus its resentment on us to the extent it does if there were a genuine peace in Palestine; and if there were peace there would be a chance of prosperity and jobs, and the lives of the Palestinians would not be so desperate that suicide bombing would continue to be a worthwhile alternative.  I think that 9/11 is the direct result of the continuing war in Palestine, and our penalty for our failure to differentiate the USA from everything Israel does.

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.

An all out war?  God help the Palestinians if that should occur.  Israel is going to show Hamas who the boss is.  Simple as that.  Hamas had better get a grip and realize that they cannot beat Israel at any game.

First I'm inclined to think it was a mistake, but the purpose for the withdraw or giving of land to the Palestinian people was to try and work towards a peace.  Israel was to give up this strip of land and remove its settlers from it, and the Palestinians we're to reign in the terrorist who constantly bomb the Israelis.  We'll see if it works. I don't think it will.

I think to be able answer such a question we have to ask the following question:  Why USA back and supply jews in Palestine since 1900's and then after 1948 what's called Israel by all means\nbecause they hate muslims and use Israel as a means against them .  In this direction mnc may be encouraged and paid to invest there, and the issues will take into consideration are strengthening Israel.

Exists as a place for displaced Jews to settle after WWII.  Palestinians feel like it is there land and was stolen from them--thus the conflict.

It would be an excellent idea, but it would require cooperative efforts from all parties concerned.\n   The various religious differences over the past 1400 years have prevented much cooperation.  It appears that the only uniting force within the Muslim community is its hatred for Isreal.  Other than that it is like the drifting desert sands.

Take the Israeli influence out and let the Palestinians exercise their own free will independently.\nFatah and Hammas are two native groups in Palestine like every one else has in his country.\nWhy are you targeting Palestine only?

the countries in the middle east. maybe it would be best to let them settle their own problems.

Its more than a chance, they're actually planning on it. Whether it will actually happen or not depends entirely on the US and Israel. \n\nIran has already said that Israel should be wiped off of the face of the planet, so I suspect Israel will step up. I hope so anyways.

Not practical. There are too many Palestinians who would give the non-Jewish a majority. No sane country would do that to itself - it would be suicidal.
