Good_Jorb.
Obviously this conflict is influenced by external forces like USA, due to the strong AIPAC influence there. The people who ceated the mess is Europeans, UN and Americans. While I think EUropeans are equally as responsible as Americans for this mess Americans do not want to understand where the seed of this conflict comes from and then becoming apathetic. perhaps due to their own history.

The ongoing US/Israeli crime against humanity in Gaza is of historic proportions. The death & destruction, along with the ghosts of all the children murdered in cold blood, will haunt Israelis forever. Israel/American actions are a sstain on Judaism, & a stain on all of humanity. I am simply speechless by the Israeli propaganda echoed in the North American media. Kill and Deny.

Kinniku. Hamas did not fire rockets first that is a lie. Israel fired rockets first during the cease fire. Israel had Gaza under a seige and people were dying of starvation. Palestinians said they would stop firing rockets if israel let go of the blockade. Palestinains were left with 2 options. Either to die of starvation or be killed by the Israeli war machine.

I think Kinniku summed it up here. This is the Israel/Palestine conflict in a nut shell. In order for Israel to remain Jewish it needs to be racist. Once you give equal rights to all the people living in Israel/Palestine Israel will no longer have a Jewish majority and Israel stop bneing Jewish but then Israel stops being racist.

What are you talking about? Pre 48? There were no refugees pre 48. In 1948 Israel terrorised 750,000 Palestinians and stole their land. Israel was granted UN membership if they agreed to Right Of return. Israel agreed to it and therefore was granted UN membership so I want to know when Israel will start to resepct the agreement which they have agreed to.

Not true Kinniku? Admission of Israel to membership in the United Nations (General Assembly Resolution 273 of May 11, 1949 ) requires Israel to comply with General Assembly Resolution 194 of December 11, 1948 and Israel stated it agreed to comply with this resolution.

> You base this statement on what exactly?...Nevertheless, we are talking about now. The situation now is that there is a country called Israel and it exists. There should also be a country called Palestine. I believe in this. You do not. Israel grants Jewish immigrants Israeli citizenship each year be they from Iran, US, Chile but yet will not accept the same people they terrorised out of their homes into Israel while on paper agreeing that they have a right to return to their homes or be given compensation.
Israel does not want to give the Palestinian, Iraeli citizenship nor give them independence.So they keep the Palestinians under a brutal occupation which is the reason for the violence.

> However, it is geopolitically completely unrealistic to expect that these groups will form one country again when the rest of the world seems to be creating new countries and splitting existing countries at the drop of a hat. The new world sees groups of people wanting their own independence and the Palestinians are no different. They want their own country and they deserve to have it...just not at the sake of destroying another existing country.
The new world meaning new world countries or the world that we live in now? I think the majority of Europeans and Arabs support a 1 state solution but not the people and countries selling segregation.
If you have been following the conflict through US media then I can understand your views as most Americans are still fairly ignorant about this conflict but more people are starting to realize what this conflict is now about.
Palestinians have already agreed to make a state of the remainding bits and pieces of Palestine according to Resolution 242 which also USA voted in favor of.
Israel was accepted into the United Nations on condition that it accept the Right of Return of the Palestinian refugees. Israel stated it agreed to comply with this resolution.

>Muslims, Jews, Christians living side by side in peace." Unless everyone becomes an atheist, that ain't gonna happen.
It was happening in Palestine before the creation of Israel so the problem is not the various religions but the state of Israel and it's ideology. I doubt it will be worse than now. By now, meaning Israel carrying out massacres and apartheid policies on the Palestinians.
Even before Israel began the huge bombing attacks on Gaza starting 12/27/08, Israel had already been committing crimes against the Palestinians. Israel was carrying out a policy of collective punishment, by implementing the blockade on Gaza. Israel punished Palestinians for political developments within the Gaza strip, which is a massive violation of international humanitarian law as laid down in Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Israel put the Palestinians in a set of circumstances where they either had to accept whatever was imposed on them or resist in any way available to them. That is a horrible dilemma to impose upon a people. The native people who were the rightful ownsers of the land which they had been terrorised out of.
Americans are the only people who openly supports Israel. Most other nations and people call Israel for what it is. An apartheid state.
