You claim to be ex-military yet you still manage to be totaly clueless about the realities of war.\n\nAfter Israel pulled out of the Gaza, sudden peace did not ensue in case you did not notice.\n\nGaza was, and is, a hotbed for terrorism. This has neccessitated that Israel go back into Gaza and do something about it.\n\nCurrently, one of the major issues is that dozens of tunnels were dug and are being used to smuggle all kinds of weapons from Egypt. Israel has the full right to do something about it.

I think my answer to your choppy english is that Hamas is a terror organization.  Yeah, democracy back fired, and there isn't much anyone can do about it.  What we can do is stop all aid and assistance until Hamas recognizes Isreal.  We have to be supporters of Isreal (USA).  If we turn our backs on Isreal, then God will turn his back on us.  If the people of Palestine suffer, so be it.  But they won't.  Iran and other rogue nations will chip in and take up the financial burden.  Hope that helped.

Hamas is a political party that currently holds power in Palestine. Lead by various leaders, the Hamas party's main objective is to gain land for the Palestinian people: basically a country to hold their people. Their policies are people-centered (the people being their own 'citizens'). They are very socially aware for their own people, building hospitals, schools, parks, and other social projects. However, when it comes to those outside their 'country', the Hamas people are quite violent: after all, they are a "terrorist" party, and participate in very violent tactics.

I dont think I can answer that question fairly for a couple of reasons... \n1. I dont live in that region so I dont really know what life is like for each side (dealing with constant bombings, roadblocks, the occupation... etc) \n2. I'm not a Muslim nor am I Jewish, and those religions play a huge part into the conflict and how they perceive the situation\n3. My perception of the situation is probably distorted because I am a Westerner and my only source of info is the Western media (and we all know how fair and accurate they portray things!!!) \n\nBut if I absolutely had to choose I would probably side with the Palestinians, because they had their land taken away from them, and their lives uprooted, in order to give Israel a homeland.  BUT I do not, under any circumstances, think that makes it acceptable to send suicide bombers into Israel to kill innocent people.  That will just make Israeli's treat the Palestinians even worse... making it a never ending vicious cycle!\n\nI watched a movie called "Paradise Now" (or something very similiar).  It's about the conflict between these 2 countries and it really gave me a greater insight on what is going on over there... It made me think and question a lot.... pretty good movie!

I think that peace must be had.  The Isrealis and the Palestinians need to be seperated.  There is too much hate for them to live together and sing "cume bye yah".  Both sides must agree to recognize each other and agree to total peace.  \n\nThere should be a barrier built, at mutually agreed borders, and Jeruselum must be free of all weapons and a free city, supported by a multinational security force.  The East should be the capital of Palestine and the West for Israel.  This would be VERY difficult because both sides want it all.  \n\nAll of the Gulf nations, with their 7 star hotels, should throw money and influence to the Palestinian Nation, while the West would continue to support Israel.  \n\nThis is the only way I can see that it will work.

Turn the Israeli army loose, no holds barred, no politics, screw the UN, and there would be no more palestinian problem. That's my solution.\nBTW, there was never a country of "Palestine". It was just a name for the region. It's kind of like saying there should be a new country named "Outback" in Australia. "Palestine" is a made-up cause, promoted by islamists in order to justify terrorism.

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.

The West Bank and Gaza will be a seperate country called Palestine. That is good enough.\n\nIsrael has been under attack since their first day in existance as a country. They have defended themselves amd grown into a successful country while living in a hostile country. Israel is trying to make peace and is willing to give up a lot in return. Look up their past peace accords. They don't want war. They just want to live peacefully without fear of being attacked.

Ok, so basically this is an issue that no one will ever be able to answer. Seeing as how this "holy" war has been occurring for the last few decades or so, I think it all comes down to who was there first. Think about it. If I stormed into your house tonight and demanded that everyone get out - what would you do? If you saw your wife and daughter raped and mutilated - what would you do? If you son was walking home from school, throws a rock at a tank and is shot dead - what would you do? This is what happens EVERY single time. Naturally, the Palestinian people must retaliate. And then they get blamed. So, what does it come down to? Territory. Man is territorial by nature and is greedy - the more the better. Hence, the never ending Isreal-Palestine war.

There are two different schools of thought in the Arab world regarding Israel (on a large scale, I'm sure there are individuals who don't ascribe to either).\n\n1) Hamas, et al- Destroy Israel all at once.\n\n2) Fatah, et al- Through diplomatic means return to pre- 1967 borders, then destroy the rest of Israel.  (The "doctrine of Phases")\n\nThis was never a secret.  Fatah officials repeatedly stated that this was their view openly, on the radio, for many years.\n\nAfter a while, they realized that if they kept saying it openly, they would never get the diplomatic concessions that they were seeking, so they stopped saying that they would use the return to pre- 67' borders as a stepping point to destroy Israel, but continued to insist on being given such a concession.

There can not be such a settlement. It is always one sided because the Palestinians don't want their own country. They want to destroy the sovereignty of Israel.  All Palestinian leaders have stated this.

The conflict is over an area called the Gaza Strip. The United Nations gave the palestinians this strip of land as a part of a treaty which made the isrealies mad because this land had belonged to them. There is lots of information on it on the internet and you can probably pull up the UN Resolution from their website that shows the trade of land. Its simply a fight over land. The palestinians hate the isrealies because they want to become a country but isreal does everything in their power to stop this from happening.

Peace is conditional only for the Israelites.\nHow many more Kassam Rockets must they accept?

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.

Now that Hamas is in power? I don't know. But it does put Israel in a better position. They can't really declare war against a faction, but they can against a government. Now that the govt. is controlled by the extreme faction, it would be easier for them to declare war and get away with it.

Embargo the entire area, cut all aid to the region.  Offer a $200,000 USD per hour bounty (split evenly) on civil peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian delegates -- which puts them in a situation where if they want to get aid from us they have to help their enemies also get aid from us.  Both sides sit at the table and start chatting (in a friendly, civil way) and both sides get to send aid money home.  But if there are insults, silence, that kind of thing -- no pay out.\n\nOnce they start getting in the habit of being civil to each other for extended periods of time, maybe we can talk about a serious peace plan that won't get de-railed by umpteen rounds of reprisal attacks for some lunatic terrorist's attack.  And the moment that the talks do get derailed by somebody attacking somebody else, the money stops flowing -- to both sides.  Put simply, there's no point in punishing one side in a cycle of violence that's gone on since the book of Genesis...\n\n(Consider: The USA gives roughly $2B per year to Israel and was giving $.2B to Palestine.  If we can keep them chatting away happily for 24 hours per day for an entire year, both sides will have gained almost a billion dollars.  Massive decrease for Israel's aid budget, but a huge increase for Palestine's aid budget -- all while saving the US 10% on regional aid for Israel and Palestine.  The incentive is for Palestine to keep the peace talks civil and engaged (hugely more money than they're used to getting) while the incentive for Israel is to get to an actual peace plan so we can go back to feeding them the $2B/yr that they're used to.)
