Netanyahu will kill thousands of palestinians. Palestinians will kill hundreds of Israelis.
This is what he wants. More war. More toughness. And somehow, magically, because "Arabs only respond to strength", the Palestinians will beg for mercy, and there will be peace ever after. |

The Arabs love having the Palestinians

Also, look at what has happened since Israel conceded the Gaza Strip. That has now become the launching point for rockets being lobbed into Israel. Question: why should the Israeili's have to give up the spoils of the 1968 war? They won. Spoils go to the victor. Go Israel. |

I wish they would all grow up so we could spend our time on peaceful activities. Being the lone world superpower is too burdensome and costly.
Neither party is reasonable in my lowly opinion.

Well, the crux of the issue is that Israel is an occupying nation. History tells us that occupation of a hostile people usually does not go well.
I am not convinced that Israel can successfully occupy Palestine. Look at the European imperial powers. Look at USSR in Afghanistan. Look at the USA right now in Afghanistan. We have overwhelming advantages in military power, we are fighting guys in caves and huts, yet we cannot control the entire country. Diplomacy is the only answer. You can't win by force. Israelis are prepared to learn the hard way, and the sad thing is that America is encouraging this behavior. |
