I have seen three Israeli Prime Ministers attempt to negotiate a peaceful resolution with the Palestinians.
An all or nothing stance on the part of the Palestinians (or should I say their warring representatives) has thwarted a peaceful resolution. That is the problem here. I am no supporter of the present Prime Minister of Israel, but until the world (including Arab Nations) start holding groups like Hamas accountable, children will continue to die needlessly. This could have all been avoided if not for rockets launched out of Gaza. The Pigs of War are using the downtrodden and uneducated to keep their ridiculous cause alive.
There is no justification in what is happening here. It could be solved tomorrow, unfortunately hatred toward Israel perpetuates the madness, when pragmatism falls flat.
Right.. Have you seen Netanyahu give anything but lip service to some real basis for Peace. The Palestinians have offered.. based on statehood and Israel withdrawal from the West Bank.
Why should he do anything else. His American 'guarantor' does not demand it of him.. and he is absolutely committed to a vision of a 'divine' destiny for Greater.. free of these camel jockey and donkey herders.
So either you deal with the Palestinian Authority or you deal with Hamas. Netanyahu has decided he can beat Hamas.. without compromising his ethnic Jewish utopia of Biblical Israel.
