Sadly enough Bes is right. No one really cares. That's how far it has dragged on.
exactly. nothing personal about arabs or other non-white people. after a while people here (north america) just dont really care no more. it becomes part of life.
You two bigots can talk for yourself, a lot of people do give a shit. I hope your parents die from an Israeli rocket, then we'll see how you'd like it if i told you two insensitive bigots that no one really cares.

Nope, that way you make Israel weaker, Palestinians stronger, and the wars will continue simply because the Palestinians won't accept the current situation with how's the land shared. And it will become even more ugly because now they won't be so helpless anymore.

Palestinians won't accept to leave the land lost in 1967 to Israel, while Israel won't accept giving it back to the Palestinians.
So you're saying we should continue spending taxpayer money to fund terrorism and not allow innocent life to live?

What is your solution to this Alen?

I didn't want to reply to you there because it is off-topic there.

Anyway, Hamas did not refuse anything. There is a siege since more than 2 years, but it was tightened since 6 months. The last truce agreement between Israel and palestinian resistants in Gaza including Hamas said:

1- No missiles from Gaza should be launched.
2- No attacks from Israel on Palestinians in Gaza.
3- Lifting the siege and allowing goods to enter Gaza strip and people to leave and enter Gaza freely.

The first two items were mostly applied, but the siege was never lifted. When the 6 months ended, Hamas was criticized in the Palestinian community because it could not lift the siege and everybody told it to end the truce unless the siege is ended.

You may see the siege as something immaterial but to know that no ill people could leave Gaza to be treated abroad causing tens of deaths, no students could leave or get in Gaza, no pilgrims to Saudi Arabia, no building tools are allowed to enter Gaza. Those are examples of the siege on Gaza.

So, the truce was ended because it was impossible to keep silent when people are dying in front of your eyes, and the coward world doesn't do anything.

Hamas decided to resume launching missiles into southern Israel to force Israel to lift the siege. Israel found it a good chance to make an invasion to Gaza and killed more than 1300 people. ANd I think you know the rest.

Just a question, what could Hamas do to end the siege?
Exactly. Israel broke the truce. Some people around the world need to read this, read it twice, three times maybe, read it a hundred times so that they get it into their little brains.

How many times are you going to react like that before you understand the point put forward by Bes and myself?

Perhaps when you read it again two or three times, you'll understand what we really meant.

What is your solution to this Alen?
I have no solution, Andy.
I've been really thinking about this in the last month and i feel so helpless. On one side, i find myself wishing death to those who kill the children and the women in Gaza, while on the other side i realized that the same will happen to the Israeli children if the Palestinians are as strong as Israel and Israel is as weak as Palestine.
The hatred there is too strong, whoever has the power will commit murders over innocent civilians.

I was thinking what will happen if they're equally strong. Will they be afraid of eachother and won't start a new war? You know, something like USA vs USSR. But there is the land problem and even if both parties are equally strong, one party will start a war for the lost land, while the other side will fight back to protect that land.

I have no idea what should be done. Something obviously has to be done but i'm not smart enough to think of a solution.

But is it certain the Palestinians would react in the same way?

Afterall, they only wanted food and goods for their people, but Israel only denied that.

Perhaps they would be just like the IDF if they had all the money, weapons and training, but that isn't the point now. We MUST stop funding Israel first if we want to have something in the same region of peace.

Seriously? :D

Come on, you know it's not like that.

Andy,

you live in a simpler and kinder world than the one Bes and I know. That's the true difference here. If you think about what we said again, you'll see that we never defended Israel.

One of the better things that happened to entrenched radicalism and terrorism in the past 100 years was Northern Ireland. Of course, the circumstances were very different in a lot of ways. But things got a lot better once forces outside the area got the #$^% out of the way and attempted to leave it to the locals to work it out.

Yes, there's the history of how this cluster^%#$ was globally created. But there's an element here that makes me question that conventional wisdom of making it "The World's Problem"(tm), with involvement from everyone from U.S. politicians and money to other Arab nations, etc., -- has that been a greater recipe for a cluster#&^% there than anything else?? 60 years of failure can't be solved with "more of the same".

Isolationism is often a recipe for failure, of course. But it's never good when a region continually expects the rest of the world to help mediate their internal issues either, as it perpetuates victimhood thinking and diminishes expectations for people to be able to resolve their own problems.

Are you really this much of a moron, bro?

The truce was there in place, read Rebels post again. Hamas did not break the ceasefire, Israel did. What could happen if the roles were reversed is NOT a justification for what Israel is doing.

We know you love Israel and you think you're taking the "middle ground", but lets see you take those smiley faces to Gaza City, if you want to something to smile about.

Seriously, I think you're smarter than this, but honestly you're hate for Islam blinds you. I will not reveal what you said to me via private discussions, but come on, people can see what you're all about Andries.

And you should stop provoking them on purpose. You made the point with the nazi and the EU. No need to repeat it.
I'm sorry, but I don't like it when my country or an organisation that represents a great deal of my country gets dragged into a conflict where it does not belong. I especially think that insults towards the EU are indecent if one doesn't even know what the EU is. That the same person should have an educating role on this forum is just sad.

Andy, please, for the last fucking time, I do not defend Israel. I have condemned them from day one. And for me this conflict isn't even about religion. It's about hate. From both sides.

What I'm on about is that the situation is much more complex than some of us like to believe. Alen's remark was a good one and you answered it with a very naive question.
