Simple well reasoned post. This has nothing to do with statehood and everything to do with weakening Israel’s ability to defend itself.
It is time to put this suffering by both peoples to an end. It is time for Israel to move into the west bank, Gaza, the Golan heights, and overtake and consolidate its control of these areas. Yes this will cause the displacement of people currently residing there, however it will at last put an end to their suffering due to the conflicts currently going on in those areas. I think Israel will do a good job in turning these areas into clean, productive areas that good deserving people will live in.

And I believe the world will eventually do a good job of transforming Israel from a criminal and terrorist enclave, into a clean Zionist free nation, fit for decent honest people to live in.


Yes. 'cause the world does such a great job transforming other countries into places "fit for decent honest people".

Stereotyping all Israelis into one neat little "criminal and terrorist" package may suit your viewpoint, but it does little to solve the problems besetting the Middle East.

There is sufficient barbarity on both sides of this utterly stupid conflict. Take a look at the behaviour of the opponants of Israel as well. They hardly resemble the textbook definition of saints... Rocks and glasshouses come quickly to mind...

Of course, portraying Israelis as "God's chosen" isn't exactly going to convert many to your side either... God's chosen, eh? Not buying that either.

What the conflict in the Middle East in general, and Palestine in particular, is, is a bunch of people who have a vested interest, acquisition of power and influence, in keeping the conflict going in some fashion or other... The poor bastards, on both sides, who just want to live their lives peacefully are caught dead square in the middle...

This situation isn't helped when outsiders help keep the hate alive by very busily stereotyping both sides as "terrorists", or "criminals"...or any one of a thousand names, or descriptions.

Howzabout we all dial down the rhetoric and maybe suggest some solutions? Maybe, just maybe, someone might read 'em, and have a brainstorm, and start a ball rolling towards an equitable and long-lasting solution.

I know that's not as much fun as calling the Israelis "terrorists". Or the Palestinians "barbarians"...or is it Israeli "barbarians" and Palestinians "terrorists"? I lose track... When the majority are nothing of the sort...

Rant off...

One of the ways I have always felt this could go is if Palestine is accepted within the Commonwealth of nations..

I mean if Rwanda can be adopted within the Commonwealth, along with many proviso's on their behaviour, human rights etc.. then why not Palestine?

Besides I understand that they are interested in seeking Commonwealth membership should they gain independence, so why not be involved more in the whole process.

The best part for me is that it takes the US, China and Russia out of the blame game loop.. not to mention minimising the threat of Iranian interference..

Anyway, those are just my thoughts.. I would prefer the Palestinans adopted within the Commonwealth of nations than left floundering and manipulated at every turn.

Great post. Palestine is only usefull to the enimies of Israel as they are. The would be required to run themselves otherwise.

Y'know? That's not a bad notion at all... That solution hadn't really occurred to me. That would suffice to grant them protection, of sorts, from not only outsiders, but from those within the group with that vested interest I mentioned...as well.

Great idea!!

It would also protect the Palestinians from Israel as well... Don't forget, two sides, at least, to every conflict.

I've always felt the Commonwealth is the organisation that is best suited to help resolve the situation so that both sides would be happy..

Besides it would be good to see the Palestinians at the Commonwealth Games

Now wouldn't that be a really positive step for the region

I am very pro-israel. However i fear this is the only real solution we may have to the conflict at hand.Palestine's and israel's leaders are clearly not getting it right.



Starwarsisreal.

Your hatred is appalling.

Did you even bother to read the rest of the post you just quoted? If you didn't, please do...you'll find I'm on no ones side here. If you did, and cherry picked that particular part of my post to prove some sort of point...well, I'm not quite sure what to tell you...

Criminal behaviour on the part of nations... Gee, there's a big surprise... Yep, just shocked to the very core of my being...[/sarcasm].

Now then, shall we discuss the behaviour of the Palestinians, too? Or does your viewpoint of criminality only go one way? Do let me know...
