Back on the block-list you go you can't be that ignorant and racist and expect me to acknowledge anything you say.
"It won't though" as if it was attempted before, and failed...the sheer ignorance of an Israeli.

Only because I'm done debating. Not because of a 'difference in opinion' because to me this isn't something like tax cuts where it can be a matter of opinion. Hamas isn't right, but they're the spawn of over a half century of Israel committing every atrocity in the book. I mean **** they've even used chemical weapons in a civilian area years ago that people are still living with the consequences of. My defense isn't for Hamas though, it's for the innocent people of Palestine against the oppressive and murderous government of Israel. You could just as easily have been born Palestinian, yet you feel nothing for them. They have no choice in anything that happens to them. They're blockaded and trapped, they get slaughtered, and when the killing stops they get their land stolen from them.
I think the people on the side of humanity should focus more on having this discussion among themselves rather than constant arguing about the same points with people who feel nothing for people but want to root for their home team (which is a racist state that discriminates against Jews within it, so unless your an Ashkenazi Jew they aren't even really your home team.)
At the very least Israel will improve its image and show (not just claim) that it actually wants peace. As long as they are occupying Palestinian territories, any statement from Israel that they want peace cannot be taken seriously.It won't though.

Eventually, once Palestine is allowed to be state, I do believe that any violence can be kept down to a smaller level of violence between individuals similar to race related violence in the US. I don't think that you'll ever really be able to eradicate that.
America. But thats not relatedThat all sounds great, but how realistic is it? Whats our image look like in the international community? Do we really care how other countries perceive us? Fact is governments do what is in the best interest of their own people (well that can be debated for many countries) so Israel shouldn't and won't risk their security. How do you honestly expect them to allow Palestinians to cross boarders freely without being interrogated and etc? What Country lets people flow through their boarders without being stopped, searched, interrogated and etc?
Egyptian President General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has reportedly offered Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas a Palestinian State in Egypt’s Sinai which would be five times bigger than anything Israel could offer them in negotiations.
The International Business Times reported today that even though he was offered 1,600 square kilometers of the Sinai Peninsula by al-Sisi, Abbas refused, thus proving that the Palestinians he represents are more interested in replacing Israel rather than creating a peaceful state adjacent to their current borders.
As part of the offer to the Palestinians, Abbas would have to relinquish demands that Israel return to the 1967 borders, and would agree that this state would be be totally demilitarized. Also as part of the deal Palestinian cities in Judea and Samaria would become autonomous and continue to be under Palestinian Authority control.
In the meeting between al-Sisi and Abbas, the former is reported to have said to his counterpart, “You are now 80 years old, if you don’t accept this proposal, your successor will.”

Hopefully, Abbas will consider the options and accept the offer, which would finally give the Palestinian people a large and war-free space to build the state they have dreamed of for so long.
Middle East Monitor reported that, according to Israeli radio, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows about the offer, and the U.S. has also given their blessing to the initiative.
The Egyptian proposal comes at a time when Abbas is again in conflict with Hamas, despite having agreed to the charade of sharing a so called unity government with it. Abbas was really pressured into the deal with Hamas due to the group’s control of Gaza,
“We cannot continue working with Hamas this way. There are 27 undersecretaries of ministries who are running the Gaza Strip, and the national unity government cannot do anything on the ground. We won’t accept the continuation of the situation with Hamas as it is now and in this shape. There must be one authority and one regime.”
The fact that Palestinian refugees would be resettled in the new and spacious independent state as part of the agreement was even more of a sweetener, but Abbas rejected the offer.
A state, such as the one proposed to the Palestinians, would offer them a much better chance of building a vibrant and peaceful society without fear of being used as human shields by Hamas in the inevitable next Gaza war.
The fact that Mahmoud Abbas made the decision not to accept the offer proves once again the truth of Abba Eban’s oft quoted aphorism about the Palestinians who he accused of “never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”
This missed opportunity is just the latest example of the true face of Palestinian Nationalism.

Just watched Obamas live announcement to go into the middle east and take out Isis. Airstrikes to come first, send coalition, military training.
Thoughts?
I don't expect ISIS to be that hard to take out. And it's clear that we have to take action.
The key is how we go about doing it and how it comes across to the public, both foreign and domestic. We need to see this as an opportunity to do three things: 1) unite historic enemies for a common cause (and perhaps drive a clear wedge between radical interpretations of Islam and the rest of humanity), 2) regain some trust from the Middle East and also from Muslims, and 3) perhaps chart a new course for Iraq and Syria. Of course, we need to do all this without coming across as the aggressor or as intruders.
It's all on the news.....don't be dumb manAmazing there is no story being posted about what happened today and the terrorism from the Palestinian side. Not even just today, but the numerous incidents over the past few weeks.
Of course not. Liberal media barely mentions it. The supposed moderate Abbas encouraged this by telling Muslims that they need to defend the mosque built on top of a synagogue at all cost. Only Muslims allowed. Why don't we hear about that apartheid?
When Egypt and Jordan controlled the west bank and Gaza nobody gave a flying ****. Then a made up people called the palestinans appeared after Israel took back the land.
When Jordan controlled jerusalam where was the Palestinian outrage?
