^could be the case of 2 people reading stories about a conflict and placing the blame on different sides. Or it could be that you are reading stories slanted towards the Palestinians, while I'm reading stories slanted towards the Isreelis. Who knows.Everything I've read indicates that the rocket attacks have been daily and incessant since Israel pulled out of the area, and the "gestapo" as you put it is arresting and killing militants only in response to the rocket attacks. If the rocket fire stopped, most likely Israel would just leave the Gazans alone and not restrict trade / aid from coming in.[Edited on January 24, 2008 at 2:05 AM. Reason : 2]

^,^^It's fuzzy just who started what... if this were public high school they'd both be suspended... so you might as well agree that regardless of who began a conflict, both groups are overly hostile and in the wrong.[Edited on January 24, 2008 at 2:05 AM. Reason : .]

One oversimplified version of the conflict that has some merit is this:If all the Palestinians were to lay down their arms, there would be peace in the area immediately.If the Jews in Israel were to lay down their arms, they would all be dead within 48 hours and the Palestinians would get to work fighting each other for control.[Edited on January 24, 2008 at 2:08 AM.

oh noes, they can't hunt the buffaloes now, they must be sadder than everThey don't have rockets blowing up in their faces alrights.considered land sacred? And that means oh so much. Their concept of land was completely inherently different. Land was bought from them on many occasions at ridiculously low prices because they just didn't understand - people couldn't own land."holy land" sort of then looses meaning when you broaden it to say all land everywhere is holy. You're not FIGHTING over a specific area as a matter of religious/national pride. Regardless, this issue has no relevance to the Gaza strip and should have never been brought up.[Edited on January 24, 2008 at 2:51 AM. Reason : ]

Egypt and the rest of the predominantly Arab countries were fed up with the Palestinians when this whole thing started. That's the fucked up thing. They're willing to use solidarity with Palestine right up until the moment that solidarity means having to do something other than hate Israel.

The citizens of these countries demand their governments do something to assist their 'muslim brothers'...in order to keep them from revolting they have to appear to be doing something. In reality the government would rather just forget the whole thing all together.But I guess you don't see that kind of stuff on TV here in the US.[Edited on January 24, 2008 at 12:30 PM. Reason : .]

Kinda like how the US was more concerned about invading Iraq then making sure Afghanistan was stable and complete irradiating the Taliban

But I'm confusedIt seems that you're saying it's OK to stay on someone's land if we kill them all one way, but not if we kill them all the other way
