(V): Who are going to be represented in these peace talks? Hamas are a terrorist organization, they are not a country.... maybe you can clarify exactly what these peace negotiations will look like and how it might resolve things?
Czuch: It would entail all sides getting together and sorting out what is needed. A true Palestinian homeland... not two little bits of country, but a whole homeland.
How it may resolve things.... If the Palestinians have a stable living place then the call of extremists will not be so easily heard.
The other alternative is a continuation of the troubles. Even if Hamas is destroyed another group will fill the vacuum sooner then later. Like it use to be the PLO everyone talked about as being the BIG terrorists.
(V): I think over the years Israel has given back bunches of land, and it has always been too little, where does it end, how much land do they want, I dont think they will ever think they got enough, because they really want it all....
Charles Martel: The settlements will be dismantled if (and when) a agreed upon resolution is made.When was this land taken by Israel? during wars? and who started these wars?
I doubt if I lost my money in a casino,that the casino would happily return it.You take your chances in war,they lost.
Jim Dandy: not in 67, and what exactly were their motives during the Suez crisis in 56? But when a country wins a war it usually becomes problematic to occupy it for too long, even claiming it as their own doesn't work for long, of course unless they intend to exterminate or banish the local population.Sooner or later the birth rate will force a settlement...some what like South Africa. bad spelling
Charles Martel: Israel is far from perfect in their handling of the Palestinian issue,many mistakes have been made,some real head shakers,but you can't make peace with someone who doesn't acknowledge your right to exist,and wants you dead,that's a real deal breaker.This "war" is understandable though,no country should be expected to turn a blind eye to being bombed daily.
