"Regarding the situation in the south, the Israeli army acted forcefully against those who try to attack us and, if necessary, the army will act more forcefully still," Mr Netanyahu warned at the start of a cabinet meeting.
"Our policy is to use force to restore security and calm to the residents of the south," he added.

Why doesn't Israel just give some of their land back and knock down the prison wall they have built? That way, there would be at least a more mutual relationship. Hey, i'd be pissed too if i had my houses bulldozed down, and being forced to live in poor conditions surrounded by a giant wall.

israel cant let a little thing like a truce get in the way of its schedule for the final solution ...
Many bombs were dropped into Israel, with no one being killed. Israel uses this as an excuse to forcefully attack the people of Gaza through war planes and state of the art missiles(who for the majority, do nothing wrong), killing the them.

At one time Israel offered exactly that, the Palestinian leadership refused.

Except that it is distorted truth and pre-defined logic.
To see what real peace plan talks can do, see what happened to Yitzhak Rabin. All those following his death had obstacles and sabotage embedded.
Any realist and middle ground person can see that 2000 round of talks were set up to fail beforehand. Was just political spectacle.
Obama tried to raise and supported 1967 border lines in a long speech broadcast May last year, Israel refused.

There are many things within Israel-Palestine conflict that are extremely complex.
One of the most telling of them is the Israeli capital controversy.
Even the US and UK avoid often the issue, because it's central focus of 2 state plan.
Embassies and capital status are in Tel Aviv, and both countries, despite being allied with Israel, are uncomfortable with Jerusalem as capital.
Unless the plan changes to Israeli absorption of Palestinians as citizens of Israel will full rights, this can drag for years...
