The first step to peace is forgetting the past.  both sides can doubtless claim a long history where the other side is responsible for starting it.

Yes the terrorists would continue to attack I suggest before coming into an argument you try to study the credo of each opposing side and listen to what they want... the palestinian people want a state. the Palestinian terrorists want dead jews. I suggest visitng hezbola hamas islamic jihad fatah and all thems online websites they have it right there in thier "purpose" area of thier pages.

yeah civil war... if the PA now try and take care of the terrorists it would be civil war... whats so hard about that? you think the terrorists would just give in?! :wtf:


The terrorists wouldn't have a cause or, crucially, public support any more.  You said so yourself - the palestinian people want a state, not terrorists.  Remove the cause, you remove the recruits and the support.

And if it emerges that the terrorists are attacking just to kill Jews, then Israel will be able to justifiably claim the moral high ground from them - and with that comes international support and aid.

If the current Israeli strategy was working, then you could claim justification.  But it doesn't work, and has only exacerbated the situation.

Quote
The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter, given in full below. Following are highlights.    "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."     "The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "    "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."    "After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."

Today, Palestinian Islamic Jihad is committed to the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state and the destruction of Israel through a jihad (holy war).

Fatah online constitution: Article (19) Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.  
Article (22) Opposing any political solution offered as an alternative to demolishing the Zionist occupation in Palestine, as well as any project intended to liquidate the Palestinian case or impose any international mandate on its people.

Wow! only 2 pages and people have already turned on the US.
Does it matter who attacked who first?  Does it matter whos land it is?  Does it matter whos fault it is?  Does it matter how much oil is around there? Does it matter if they have sizeable support elsewhere?

Mostly Yes: Welome to the land of the Free and the home of the Brave
Mostly No:  We're yes' target

Oh looks like Isreal wants to prosecute several UN workers, damn those sneeky terorist bastards and thier cunning disguises

As long as there is no Palestinian state, then Hamas and the rest can claim a justified cause, and thus recruit 'ordinary' Palestinians to it.

I appreciate your situation, and that you have a justified reason for hating these people.  But this hatred is the same reason they use, the same excuse they give, and is why there is no hope for peace for either side whilst this situation continues.

Maybe if you read what I'm saying,  what you will understand is that am suggesting a peaceful solution that will remove the popular support and perceived legitimacy of these terrorists.

NB: Maybe if Israel wasn't retaliating, there'd be less people angry enough to be come terrorists - think of that?

hate these people? the only people I hate have ceased to be human in my eyes they dont deserve to hold the title and they deserved to be treated as such unhuman animals. Sorry but thats my view of terrorists. those who arnt terrorists belive me I could care less where they live they can live in the aprtment next to me or they can live on the other side of the world who cares?! they arnt trying to kill me because of my ethnicity and or location!

look I can appreciate your trying to think up solutions and they may seem good, yeah in the world itll remove thier support... but you think that will make a diffrence to them? all they have seen is that since they started killing civilians the world has pressured Israel to meet thier demands. and I highly doubt it will work.

See all previous comments RE: removing support & cause.  I'm not rewriting that stuff for the 5th or 6th time.

Also, if they stop attacking, then they Israel will have no more of a reason to back out of Palestine.  

Terrorism is - as they see it -  their only real leverage against Israel (as Israel has repeatedly ignored the UN resoltions against it, and is being covered by the US veto as well).  They feel abandoned by the world, so all they think they can do is fight.  For some it is suicide bombs, for others it is passive support, and for others its picking up rocks and ak-47s when Israel troops march in.

In short, for them it's better than doing nothing and standly idly by while they suffer.

The worlds has pressured Israel because Israel has been killing civillians as well, and Israel has the power to stop.   And because Israel is a powerful, democratic, civillised state, people expect it to be able to make the first move.  Whether the terrorists do or do not attack will make no difference to what Israel does in Palestine - if there are no more attacks then there is no impetus for Israel leave.

It's simple, really.  Terrorists can't operate without support, the same as political parties, armies, etc, can't.  Moreso, if they operate against that support, i.e. in ways that hurt the interests of said support, then people turn on them.  

Terrorism exists as an extreme expression of social issues.  remove the issue, and you will remove the terrorism.

ignored UN resolutions taht were passed against it when it went into the territories because of an attack on its civilians so it could hunt down terrorists thank GOD Israel ignores that usless body of wind bags the UN who have been helping terrorists in fact. that latest article about athe quassam rocket being tranported in the UN vehicle and this video: http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=gunslinger5&templatefn=FileSharing1.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.1.xml&sitefn=RootSite.xml&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en/

They are suffering because they started it! they started bombing we started going in. they stop bombing we stop going in. they are suffering cause they choose to fight and kill and murder. like I have said before jsut look at all the arabs living in Israel who have great homes lives families jobs with no crap going on they ahve no raids in their villages they have no checkpoints or army people.

the point is Israel kills civilians? yes. intentionally? no. are the soldiers who do punished? yes. are there casualties of civilians in wars? yes.

so we are going to ahve to sit and wait for the US to attack Iran Syria and Saudi Arabia before the terrorists quite getting support ?! how many years will that be? you can come here and sit it out that long if you wish but we happen to value life slighty more then you apperantly

the palestinian terrorists get support from their onw people yes. but do they get the support they need to operate from them? no they are to poor they have squandered any money they did have on trying to blow israel up in the first year. the support these terrorists get is from outside Israel.

ISRAEL IS THE SOCIAL ISSUE!!!!!!!!! READ WHAT IS BEING W-R-I-T-T-E-N FOR ONCE!!!!! I will repeat this once more and hope you can comprehend simple english. the terrorists want Israel gone nothing more nothing less. that is the issue removing the issue is removing Israel from existance. So now maybe do you understand this is like nothigna nyone has faced before. these people will not stop attacking till we are gone for good that is the issue... how do you remove that issue without resorting to thier methods?

I hope this time you absorb this information review the links i posted our existance is their issue. if you still think that removing the issue is the only solution then you agree to the destruction of Israel... its quite simple ina  very tragic way. :doubt:

Okay, you're young even compared to me and aldo, I get that-  you see things very black and white. That's allowed.

But... just... argh. You really are so arrogant about this whole thing e.g. what is this Palestine you speak of?  "usless body of wind bags the UN who have been helping terrorists in fact. that latest article about athe quassam rocket being tranported in the UN vehicle and this video:" etc.

In fact most experts on british media said most rockets/launchers would be too heavy to be carried the way that guy carried the object he had.

The UN was created to stop power-hungry men and silly little boys playing war whenever they think they have divine right to something. Unforutnately we've never backed it up with any real weight.

The US, the world's biggest military power, fails to support the UN when it sanctions against Israel, or any other satellite state for that matter.

Britain hasn't helped either - we've cowtowed to US demands on the security council for far too long and the major European powers are afraid of getting their hands dirty due to the unpopularity it causes at home.

i think the whole situation is rather funny, allot of people dont share my opinions, altho they never could really explain to me:

1) why Palestinians even have any right to claim that territory theirs ?
2) why Palestinians attack civilians, use funds that are supposed to be for feeding their people and buying medication, to buy weapons and ammunition ?
3) why a blantant terrorist group (Hamas) can be sponserd by the UN and no one gives a **** about it ?, could i fund AL-Quaida if it had a "political front" and not just a militery one?.
4) why every time israel decides to take a step towards peace ( leaving gaza, altho i have no idea how that will give peace ), palestinians decide they are all-mighty and attack civilians, only to see the troops coming back and whiping them out.

i dont know why, but i just see things this way.. i cant see where palestinians have ever given a hand for peace, i cant find one incident where israel was the "fire-starter" in this whole terror war and its battle's..

Who's this 'Roy' you talk of?

Your theory, as far as I can tell, is preserving the status quo that has cause over half a century of mutual violence, hatred and bloodshed.  History has proved you cannot use tanks to stop terrorists.

Mine, at least, involves trying to stop that.

Even the IDF admits that's not conclusive evidence.  I would hardly call a bunch of local support staff indicative of the rest of the world - which the UN represents - regardless.

The UNs charter was founded to protect the basic rights of man and to seek peaceful solutions instead of armed conflict.  Frankly. I can;t think of any more appropriate area for it to pass resolutions on.

They don't choose to live in Palestine, or in refugee camps in other countries like Syria, Jordan, etc.  They don't choose to be stopped from working in Israel because of IDF roadblock.  they don't choose to have their homes bulldozed, or their towns cut in half by giant concrete blocks.

And they started it?  If you really want to go all the way back to the beginning, then it's down to the conflict between Arabs & Israelis in 1947, when thousands of Arabs were driven out of what became Israel, at the same time as Jewish refugees came from Arab countries into Israel itself.  If you look at history, both started it.

And someone who is unfortunate enough to get in the way of a bullet?  Someone who lives (or tries to) in the refugee camps and sees their house destroyed, or their family caught in crossfire?

Do they deserve it?  If not, do they have a right to seek revenge as Israel would for attacks upon it?

To the Palestinian who sees his son/dauighter/wife/etc caught in the crossfire, intention doesn't matter.  What matters, is that Israeli troops did it.

So it's blame the big bad arabs overseas, now?  So...it's not about Palestinians, but about Arab countries?  So why even bother going into Palestine and not attacking them?

Look, if you're not going to pay attention to what I'm saying, then there's no point in this.  Popular support, that which is accepted by the international community and an accepted necessity for lasting peace, is to have an independent Palestinian state.  

Do this, and you remove the legitamacy and defensibility of terrorism.  And you also remove the vast majority of popular support.  By doing that, you weaken if not destroy the terrorists ability to maintain an infrastructure.  You also ensure that any assistance to these terrorists is no longer seen as assisting freedom fighters, but as helping murderous terrorists.

If you are too blinkered to understand what I'm saying, then it's not my fault.  I will spell it out one more time; terrorism exists because of social conditions.  The social conditions are the poverty, deprivation, and fear of Palestinians living in the settlements, who have grown to hate Israel as a result of their role in this sorry affair.

If you remove the root of that hate, you remove the root of that problem.  This hate of Zionism that you are so keen to allude to, is an extension of that hatred - it's justification is rooted as much in the Palestinian situation as it is in religion.  Palestine is the key to the solution.  solve that, and the rest will follow.

Send in more tanks, and all that will follow is more suicide bombers and civillian casualties on both sides.

1/ they live there and did prior to the founding of Israel.  i.e. nationalism
2/ Hatred & fear.  applies to both sides.
3/ Evidence? (NB: Hamas does play a humanitarian role within Palestine as well as being terrorist, that's one of the reasons it gains support within there)
4/Because every time Israel steps back, it launches some form of action to avoid looking weak - be it incursions as the ones we're seeing now, building a bloody great illegal wall round the place, or assassinations of terrorist leaders (who often hold a degree of spiritual support)

I think that the causes of this conflict can be put down to mutual culpability - one side takes an action, and the other seeks revenge to avoid looking wounded.

Neither side will probably make peace offerings without international interference.  But I think - and I've said this earlier - that Israel is in the best position to make the first move, because it holds the cards - the territory &  the military.

Your theory, as far as I can tell, is preserving the status quo that has cause over half a century of mutual violence, hatred and bloodshed.  History has proved you cannot use tanks to stop terrorists.

Mine, at least, involves trying to stop that.


No, my theory isnt one of a solution my theory is simply that your theory wont work.

The UNs charter was founded to protect the basic rights of man and to seek peaceful solutions instead of armed conflict.  Frankly. I can;t think of any more appropriate area for it to pass resolutions on.


they are responsible for thier personell just like any other orginazation acting in that name... IDF soldiers who make mistakes are punished UN workers no matter who they are if they help terrorists need to be punished... thats not hard.

they live in Israel there is no Palestine yet. they are not stopped they are inspected for bombs and weapons which will be used to kill civilians. to bad they chose that route they make the innocent civilians living on that side of the road blocks suffer. they do to chose to have thier homes bulldozed... do you even know why or whose houses are bulldozed? the houses of terrorists who have commited murder. towns cut in half by concrete blocks? hardly I suggest you review the route of the wall again and look at what is being done for the ffew landowners affected by its route.

dude thats no where near the begining. the begining was thousands of years before that... you know abraham had 2 sons isac and ishamel and isac was the father of the jews and ismael the arabs. with diffrent mothers of course and them and thier decendents went on to colonize many many many places around and then you have the israelites coming out of egypt and taking cannan and then the babylonian exile and then the return in the late 1800s... i mean dude you skipped about 5000 years or so lol

Do they deserve it?  If not, do they have a right to seek revenge as Israel would for attacks upon it?

To the Palestinian who sees his son/dauighter/wife/etc caught in the crossfire, intention doesn't matter.  What matters, is that Israeli troops did it.


Thats called racism. you find out which soldier and prosecute call on the authorities whatever. but to exact your own revenge just because its an IDF soldier? lol dude... Israel acts uppon deliberate attacks upon its civilian population.

dude that was in responce to your claim that after the palestinians get a country the terrorists will lose support and cease. my point is that they get their funding and such form private billionairs overseas in europe and by mullahs in saudi arabia and outrightly by the governments of iran and syria... the palestinian population has no say in weather they continue or not.

yes that is the popular support... and?

dude if it were the terrorists fighting for a state there is no way anyone would be telling us to cave. the point is the terrorists are jsut a means to an end for the palestinian people... the palestinian people want a homeland well alot of them... the terrorists provide them the publicity they need for thier demands to be heard. the terrorists on the other hand have no intention and dont need to have their support to continue. like I have pointed out many times before... you know if your going to continue like this then the facts about what the palestinian terrorists are fighting for will from now on be reffered to as "Fact X" okay?

so forget that whole paragraph... Fact X is my response and remmber it this time eh?

and I will spell it out to. F-A-C-T---X!!!! terrorism exists because Israel does. boo frickity hoo.

the root of the hate? the existence of jews in what was at one pont muslim land which means by islamic law when they have the chance they are commanded to take it back. so now maybe this argument will shift to a religious debate. :rolleyes:

If your not going to listen to me, I'm not interesting in the constant ****e you spout.    

Unless you're genuinely not listening, you appear to be equating every Palestinian as being an idiotic, Jew-hatic fanatic.  I'm not prepared to give any credence to that particularly inane argument.

down to personal insults eh? hehe nice.

if thats how it appears to you then you havnt given more then a second glance to my posts because you will find that when I talk about the palestinians and the palestinian terrorists im reffering to 2 very diffrent and distince groups. to bad you had to resort to practically calling me a racist here. quite sad you know. ah well lets hope next time you can keep your cool about you. I would have thought for somone who is apperantly much older then me that would have come naturally. poor show :no:
