Agreed. Peace means a loss of profit and power. Not just for 'nations' but for both Israel and for Hamas as well. Peace would mean no more 'aid' flowing in the area. No more 'aid' to the 'palestinians' (which usually goes to buy weapons and power, missing the people entirely). No more 'aid' to the gov't of Israel. Peace would mean no more power for those in charge (both of Israel and Hamas).

Let them fight it out

I've been saying that for years. Let them all duke it out once and for all. A final end all blow out. Everyone else step back and don't interfere. Whoever is left standing when the dust settles .. they get that tiny strip of land and can call it their own. Then the rest of us don't have to ever hear about it again.
