Give me a break buddy! We are talking about an army of suicide bombers that attacks Israel, not a whole nation. Well alright, those bombers may be backed up by the entire population but that does not justify to condem them all.

"I am a 100% for Isreal", this is not a soccer match you know! This so called palestinian army is a group of brainwashed teenagers and a few sexually frustrated suicide-women. Their motivation is so ridiculous that you should treat them like a father his son and wash their mouth with soap. The problem is the lack of proper education. But how can you teach them to use their own brain if they cant go to school or there is no school. Secondly I guess that a great share of the teachers are also heavily ideologised (i guess that word doesnt exist). Seriously, what makes me so disappointed is that I see a grown up sophisticated isreaeli elite on the one hand and a few silly teenagers on the other. It is not on the side of the pals to finish this war, cause they cant, it is the duty of the progressive and intellectual state of Israel. But instead of finding a solution Isreal plays Kiddy games. You should get the translation for "der stärkere gibt nach!"  biggrin.gif In europe more and more people get the impression that Israel is NOT a grown up country!

not quite correct, ill say my version?  one side is trying to recover what was lost in 1948, the other to survive. and maybe thats why you fail again and again to understand me.<span id='postcolor'>

Every time I look at this map of the hundreds of settlements Israel has built on Palestinian land I have a big problem believing that this conflict is about Israel's survival.

Yes but its this war really about the freedom of the Palestinian state or is it simply Arafat wanting to kill Jews? That map is interesting but it works in both ways.

OK I've only glanced at this thread a few times because they are always the same.

I the majority of people can agree that suicide bombing civilian targets is wrong. And not just American surgical strike wrong, deeply wrong.

Why can't the Arab Isrealis form a guerrilla army? That attacks military targets? It has worked very well in the past and the Arab Isrealis are surrounded by allies. If the Arab Isrealis would get organized and do this, there might not be so much opposition to them. Because really what Western nation could possibly NOT oppose suicide bombers targeting bus stops, resturaunts, etc.

If they did this I think they would be a lot more effective and they would have more support.

we are talking of about couple of thousends armed operatives, who're able to recruit almost everyone they want. unfortunatly they are mass educating their kids and brainwashing them towards it. it is not that there isnt a proper education, it is that they teach their children to hate israel. ive given a link in the start of this thread.

Still this dosen't proof a thing. It dosen't matter how many palestinians whant the hole land back. The truth is

that the only way the can gain all the land back is to have a strong millitary force wich they don't have.

Israel is the biggest power in the middle east wich has nuclear bombs. There is actualy no country in the middle

that can engage israel and win. This is a fackt you know. And what i can gather from this article is kind of conusing.

As i know it one of the biggest reason in that oslo failed was jerusalem. The problem is that israelis said yes let's

sign the peace proposal know and let's disscus Jerusalem later. But if Arafat did that he will be dead right now killed

by is one people. The reason that jerusalem is sow inportant ot the arab world is that the quran it says that a muslim

has to make a pilgrimage once in his life time and he must visit jurasalem and meka. And as  we know how big the religion

plays in the middle east that will angerd the hole arab world. But today even if the hole arab goes against israel they

can't win because israel has the newest tech arms and without no doubt the help of us.

Dont get me wrong here Scout. I am not trying to downplay the amount of cruelties those suicide bombers are willing to comitt. But their motivations are simply childish. And children deserve a less strickter penalty than death!

so what? does that means that because someone would try to kill him we need to give up?

Rabin took the risk, Sadat took the risk. why is Arafat so special?

are you for real? the Arabs had held Jerusalem almost always.

Joradn Occupied Jerusalem since 1948 and didnt make it a Capital, nor did the turks.

The pilgrimage is only to mecca.

the Mount Temple is the third in importance to the muslim but the first to the Jews. according to your logic there shouldnt be even a discussion about it.

what angers the whole arab world is the existance of Israel it self.

Just look at the media in these countries throughout the last 50 years.

I commented of you saying that this conflict isnt about Israels survival, and showed you it is very much about this issue.

if you are asking me about settlements in the west bank and gaza , then i would say to you that once an agreement is achieved the settlements would be evacuated, just like the case in 1979 peace agreement with Egypt.

the settlements are by no means a interfering factor in any kind of negotiations although i dont approve of them. but that is not the question.

i for myself recognise the fact that there is are people (palestinians) living on the ground. since we dont want to make them citizens i see that it is pointless building them in places that would surely be evacuated in any futuristic settlement.

for that reason i view populating the golan heights legit.

there are no Syrian residents there, and the Syrians lost the land, fair and square.

west bank and gaza are, as i've said another deal.

all this doesnt interfere reaching an agreement about the extent of withdrawl, and the type of agreement. other factors do.

Ya but if he sign on that peace proposal it was like signing on war declaration for any muslims in the area.

You know how much religion plays on both sides. Then you woulden't have any peace at all insted of a couple

suicede bombings you will have a hundred and all of your will be moved to the borther. Religion is far danger

game to play then any game. Look at osama he using religion for his own sick game. Think about if you take jerusalem

If you need to combat terrorism you need to understand the issue. And in the palestinian issue is if the people

"If you think that Israelis have never used terrorism them you need to consult your history books. The Jews used some terrible terror tactics in '40s Palestine."

According to some the first terror attacks in the area were also done by Jews.

What I find interesting though is that several Israelies responsible for massacres have actually gone on to become ministers, primeministers even.
