Reply #3: I very much fear this this will blow up in everyone's face. [View All]

It would be a nightmare to be one of the people on either side of this clusterfuck. The greatest masses of people on each side just want to be left alone to live in peace.

On the one hand the Palestinians live in fear of Israeli reprisals. On the other hand the Isrealis live in fear of terror bombings. Seems to me that the one thing that keeps the troubles alive is Hamas.

You have to wonder just how much longer the situation can last without someone taking drastic action (as if the present situation is not drastic).

It seems to me that the one thing that can start movement towards peace is for the palestinians to finally quash the terror tactics of Hamas. Unless that is done, I very much fear that Isreal will one day have had enough and adopt a "final solution" (and I use the term fully knowing the it's origin), and use it's military power to push them all out and take over the land itself. That would be a nightmare for all involved.

Facts must be faced. Hamas's goal is the destruction of isreal. The Palestinians goal is to live in peace and prosper. The two are simply not compatible.

I believe that nothing will be done to solve the problem until the palestinians foreswear violence as a means to settle political differences, and the Isrealis accept the Palestinians as neighbors.

But that may be asking too much of both sides.

Perhaps the solution is to nuke them both and put an end to the bickering once and for all?
