That is when both parties get something out of the deal. So far the deal since 1947 is pretty much one sided.
Arguing that because Palestine has a less effective (military) presence is therefore the victim is a bizarre position..
Israel can't even control a population they have had on 'reservations' for almost 70 years. Obviously their form of rule is not working. When Israel says it is withdrawing troops from Gaza will they be counting the ones in body bags? Now that they have committed to a ground war they can't quit early without losing as much face as the US did over Crimea. Lesson, if you eesist you will eventually win. That takes a common will with the people, it is not the size of the gun. Gaza has that after having many of it's people die, a lot who no part in the conflict. Israel counts that after so many civilian deaths (as they are all civilian in Gaza) peace will be acceptable under any terms. They don't realize that their own people will have a number that they will see as 'too many' and then the IDF and Co. will lose support and the original 'right to return' will be implemented and an Arab Government will be installed and obviously the military aspect of Israel will be 'reduced' and the reconstruction fees first tap the ones that voted 'Yes" (plus the UK) can fork over a lot of money and then the states that were involved after that will also be tapped, all run by the new Government. Religious freedom really is free in that it cost almost nothing to practice, anywhere not just Israel.
I believe that it is also fair to say that blaming the Israelis for the toll on the civilian population has only limited justification as Hamas is specifically immersing themselves among the civilians and engaging their own aggressions..
It is your comments like this that is the catalyst for my reply. You have to be a troll of some sort of bottom-feeder to even come up with this. If you are this void of knowledge of the area you have a lot of homework to do. Let`s say you metal facilities are a bit more devious that `lack of valid information`.
By definition by Israel Hamas is any citizen of Gaza that does any task that helps the men that are named in local Communities as the elected spokesperson`. That put an Israeli bullseye on them just for that alone. That means they can be targeted anyplace-anytime and if it is at home and the rest of the families dies then it is his fault for being a `terrorist`
Like I have said before, maybe the time has come to get both parties out in the open, away from the civilian population, and get them fight it out and be done with it (at least for some time).
Take away Israel`s armor and have them invade Gaza on foot with just stones to throw.
Could you call yourself a good parent and allow your child to march is such a useless cause
