I don't necessarily think that Palestine is the problem. I don't necessarily think Israel is the problem. I believe it's governments controlled by terrorist organizations that are the problem. Can anyone name one middle east terrorist organization that doesn't hate Israel... I sure can't.

I think a majority of the problems we see today stem from the 1948 UN decision. What gave the UN the right to declare that land property of the Israelis and take it from the people that occupied it?
It doesn't matter what shape the area was in, it belonged to the Palestinians. So I can see why they might be a bit upset.

Yeah Palestine is the problem because they're in the way of the Israeli settlers who want to build condos on their gravestones... Those women and children terrorists that have killed 0 Israelis with all those rockets are the problem too!

Nah, man. Human nature itself is the problem, and until people choose to transcend their lusts for power, for control of others, for arbitrary symbols of "wealth", nothing will change but the names and faces, but the play itself... will go on.

My feelings on this tell me people need all the facts before spouting hate toward either side. I see anti-Israeli threads or comments thereof quite often. One is of how horrible it is for them to be bombing Palestine civilians. Why is it also not an atrocity when they are bombing Israeli civilians. At this time I am not clear on why they are firing in the areas they are (schools). Maybe Hamas is hiding in these schools?
All I can say is people need to work on perspective big time. Instead we have attributional bias, confirmation bias, and so on. I'm not saying any of them are right. Or maybe I think they are all a bunch if idiots for not being able to figure this out without guns.

I think they are more pissed off that Zionist death squads intimidated and murdered their ancestors whilst booting them out of their homes and then bulldozing them. The Zionist occupation wasn't green grass and clean water, it was an act of terrorism which was accepted by the international community and the man who created Hamas went through every moment of it.
Hamas and other terrorist are cowards and the Palestine government will not expel these criminals better yet put them in jail for life for terrorism.
They fire their rockets from within civilian neighborhoods at which point the Israelis can pin point exactly from where their rockets were fired from and then they return fire.
If the Palestine government removed HAMAS and the other terrorist organizations from the Gaza strip the fighting would cease and possibly there would be a chance for peace.
When Israel and its people moved back they found the land given to them filthy, the waters were infested and the land was barren.

This issue stems from the Israel Government taking a pro-active approach to limiting the effective ability for the Palestinians to create a functioning country. They effectively have been able to control all trade in and out of the country and keep them from being able to improve their quality of life.
This has lead the people of Palestine to continue to develop deep seeded hate of the Israeli's.
From Israel's perspective they have always been a threat to their people and have done what was needed to protect their people from immediate threats and future threats.
The issue is not Israel or Palestine, it's the hate that these two peoples have for each other and continue to nurture.
Neither side is right or wrong, that's a bad way of approaching the issue.

Hi,
Actually I think both sides are wrong. Like I stated in my original post - Hamas and other terrorist fire their rockets in "safe neighborhoods" and then run - leaving the innocent people within that neighborhood to pay the ultimate price. To me this a coward.
