Maybe things are stopped for the moment but it isn't likely that both parties will keep peace. Don't count on it.

This is what salespeople call the presumptive close.  Israel is going nowhere, so stop holding your breath.  The world is not threatened by Israel.  \n\nAs they demonstrated in the early 80's, while the US was busy building up Huseein, the Israelis were busy beating him down by stopping his nuclear weapons program, and agressive ambitions.

Australian SAS have one of best reputations in the world. They took out Saddam's missiles and bases in the west of Iraq just before major combat started, thus saving Israel and the region from an expanded conflict.

Following World War II, the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine, and the UN partitioned the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Subsequently, the Israelis defeated the Arabs in a series of wars without ending the deep tensions between the two sides. The territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war are not included in the Israel country profile, unless otherwise noted. On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Israel and Palestinian officials signed on 13 September 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. In addition, on 25 May 2000, Israel withdrew unilaterally from southern Lebanon, which it had occupied since 1982. In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement. On 24 June 2002, US President BUSH laid out a "road map" for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which envisions a two-state solution. However, progress toward a permanent status agreement was undermined by Palestinian-Israeli violence between September 2000 and February 2005. An agreement reached at Sharm al-Sheikh in February 2005 significantly reduced the violence. The election in January 2005 of Mahmud ABBAS as the new Palestinian leader following the November 2004 death of Yasir ARAFAT, the formation of a Likud-Labor-United Torah Judaism coalition government in January 2005, and the successful Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip (August-September 2005), presented an opportunity for a renewed peace effort. However, internal Israeli political events between October and December 2005 have destabilized the political situation and forced early elections, scheduled for March 2006.

Israelis are not doing enough. They are not protecting themselves. I don't get it. So they targeted some rocket launching sites that turned to be civilian backyards... Whose fault? If I were to target someone a mile away, I would never do it from my mother's( brother's, grandma's, neighbor's...) backyard, but Gaza Arabs don't think like me, they do it because they gain political points, which are so important to them, even more important then the lives of their loved ones(although, I don't think think someone that capable of hate is capable of love).\nAnyway, those coward Israelis happen to kill civilians, and what do these Jew cowards do? They sincerely apologize, and they immediately stop targeting those rocket launchers to avoid further casualties, and by that they put their own people in danger!\nJews will always get attacked for as long as they are being too damn soft on their enemy.

No.  But he does need to eliminate their nuclear weapons program.  If other nations do not act by the end of this month than Israel has vowed to do so.

I wouldn't necessarily say March, but I would say there is a good possiblity of it happening.\n\nIsrael has been attacked by the surrounding countries enough to know that they are going to have a serious problem if Iran, which has openly stated it wants to eliminate Israel, develops nuclear capabilities.\n\nWe may see another covert operation like Israel did in Iraq in 1986.  And then the rest of the world will publicly berate Israel, while secretly thanking them and the job they did.

Yes, and Us supported Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba and many more bloody dictators, as show the link below.  Do you know that US give Israelis arms to kill palestinans? USA are not so friendly.

I would try ,but it is going to be very,very difficult...since they have the support of the most powerful country in the world...Someone must remind Israel that they are not above the law,and that as any other country they should obey some rules...Some sanctions would be in order to remind Israel that they are not the only country in this world and if the rest of the world can survive without Israel,Israel can't survive without the rest of the world...\n\nAnyway, I saw that the EU is doing some steps forward in order to make Israel comply with the international law,but let's see if they are going to accomplish something.They will vote(hope favorable) for a resolution that condemns Israel for its attacks on Gaza and ask them to apply the UN resolutions...

I guess you're talking about when the US dropped a nuke on Japan.\n\nYes - and this time, the way it looks.., the US will be nuked and neutralized. She will be turned into a 3rd world country. Once that is done the Arab nations will feel brave enough to try and take down Israel.  Its all in The Book.

This summer?\nWell Israel send a few soldiers into Lebanon's territory and Hezbollah killed some of them and took 2 into captivity...So Israel attacked and destroyed Lebanon in order to free the soldiers...of course they said that they are actually attacking Hezbollah ,but all they did was to kill almost 1000 innocent people and destroy the civilian infrastructure of Lebanon...Nothing happened to Hezbollah who become more strong...\nAnd it seems that now there are negotiations for releasing the soldiers in exchange to some Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli prisons...

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.

israel proved to the world that deforestation is revesible.  Before the the State was born the whole country was practically denuded during the Turkish Empire. in Israel they were able to turn back the tides and reforest major areas.   Of course Israel was the first place that also stopped the encroachment of desert and with it's technolgy of drip irrigation was able to bring vegitaion in the desert.  It has been said with the Israeli invention of drip irrigation that it had the greatest impact in the world to agriculture.

Of course...nothing new for Israel...\nSo many times Israel got away with murder because US has vetoed every single sanctions against it...So it is because of the support of US and the silence of UN...This is their idea of justice...\nWhile Israel's crimes are called "self defense",the Palestinians fighting for liberty will be called "terrorists"...because they don't have the full support of the most powerful country in the world:USA...\nNo one will ever accuse Israel of deliberately killing civilians.even if they do... Actually the excuse was "technical error".but of course Mr Olmert already told us that those kinds of errors "may happen " in the future...

Jews only like to see a big "gap between Islam and Western civilitation hat make big miss-understanding between them that cause negative impact for the world civilitation" for their interest which is occupying the land of Palestine. Shakhmaty..you are right. It makes me wonder if Holocaust really happened?

Doubtful, the most likely aggressor will be the Isaelis. Since Sharon was incapacitated, they've been more or less leaderless since January of this year. Now that they've taken some action to get a new leader, i'm sure they'll be making some kind of decision. The US response most likely will be in defense of the Israelis. \n\nThe only wild card is Pres. Bush, he doesn't have an election to worry about and probably wants to leave a legacy: "the person who had the courage" to make the decision to stop Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon, even if it meant using a tactical nuke on some of the hardened facilities such as the nuclear enrichment plan at Natanz.\n\nPres. Bush's generals appear to have recommended against a military response, and may resign over the whole issue, if the Commander-in-Chief decides to proceed anyway.\n\nA US attack will lead to fearful consequences, but on the other hand, do we let a megolomaniac get control of a nuclear device?  Hard questions to answer.

Israel is the only Jewish state in the whole world.  The Arabs have 22 states.  The Arabs are not wiling to accept a Jewish state in their midst.\n\nIsrael thought that by leaving Gaza entirely in August 2005, that the Arabs would get their act together and develop their economy. Instead, the Arab have seen fit to launch thousands of missiles at Israel's civilian population, intending to kill as many citizens as possible.\n\nIsrael, on the other hand, is trying to live in peace.  When they do attack, it is with the clear objective of silencing the Arab terrorists.  By international law, Israel is totally justified in its quest to protect its citizens.  The Arabs are in total violation of international law by unprovoked attacking of innocent civilians in Israel.\n\nThe Palestinian Arabs could have had a state already, if they only behaved like civilized human beings.  But they have proven time and again that they are not ready to behave, and so the Arabs will have to exist with "only" 22 states.\n\nMeanwhile there is plenty of land remaining to be settled in Israel
