Both sides are fanatics. The eye for an eye just keeps going. The blood bath about to unfold will just make another generation with absolute hate for Israel and so the cycle continues.
Israel had the power in my opinion to halt this cycle years ago by making a fair carve up of territory so that Palestine could prosper. They chose instead to exert control over Palestine like a strangle hold so this is what happens, like cornering a rat.
If they wanted to stop being attacked from that area, that would be one way to do so, and I think they have the ability to do it. The fact that they have not done so yet, means they have opted for more restrained approaches thus far.Are you suggesting that not wiping the Palestinians off the map (before today) is evidence of Israel "showing restraint"?
Also Netanyahu just on TV: "This war will take some time, it may be difficult but we will use our entire force to completely destroy Hamas"
I think most people take not committing genocide somewhat for granted for any "civilised" society.If they wanted to stop being attacked from that area, that would be one way to do so, and I think they have the ability to do it.

Maybe you can answer my question now...
There are some disgusting "you deserved it" comments starting to appear on what seems to be her YouTube channel. I despair at people. So sad. Poor girl.
Israel could do it, but hasn't. Hamas hasn't done it...but only because they lack the power to do so. So no, it's not a "given" here.I think most people take not committing genocide somewhat for granted for any "civilised" society.
Yes although that has been curated by Israel's reluctance to make the bigger gesture of having two separate states where the Palestine's got a fair deal. It's gone on so long that all the face saving by Israel to their electorate of having to be tough has just caused the killing to continue and fed Hamas with new recruits for the martyrs that Israel created. And the cycle is about to repeat yet again.For some groups anything short of Israel's complete oblivion is never going to be satisfactory.
Until there's significant changes in the political sphere from both sides I can't see how peace can achieved. Ian Paisley said on the eve of the good Friday agreement 'My views haven't changed but the world around has moved on'. When the right people in that part of world come to such a realisation hopefully things can get better.
Why should it be on Israel to "break the cycle"?I should say I don't support what Hamas have done but rather I can see why it's happened and why it will keep on happening unless Israel break the cycle.

So by that logic, Russia is "showing restraint" by not nuking Ukraine? I guess we should be slapping Putin on the back for his admirable restraint, what a great guy he is.Israel could do it, but hasn't. Hamas hasn't done it...but only because they lack the power to do so. So no, it's not a "given" here.
I can't see any, would you care to quote them?Plenty in this thread as well.
Hmmmm maybe all those that are pro Hama's and anti isreal, you back the cause you back the crimes .I can't see any, would you care to quote them?

You don't cherry pick.
Or do you agree with Hama's and it's methods?
Who is pro-Hamas, here?Hmmmm maybe all those that are pro Hama's and anti isreal, you back the cause you back the crimes .

Because Israel holds the largest amount of land and they drove the Palestine's out. It's on Israel to do the right thing and they ought to know better than most what it's like to be oppressed and persecuted. Israel just keep playing to the populist politics of striking back hard which won't solve anything. There has to come a time that you accept you can't undo the past but for the sake of others not also having to loose loved ones that you draw a line under the past. This course of action from Israel and other western countries supporting them is just not the answer. The answer needs to be thrashed out around a table with a focus on what could sincerely work.Why should it be on Israel to "break the cycle"?
Still waiting for you quote all those posts in this thread saying that the innocent girl who was murdered and then desecrated deserved it. Or, as I suspect, were you simply lying and are unable to back up your assertion?Hmmmm maybe all those that are pro Hama's and anti isreal, you back the cause you back the crimes .

Oh so Hama's hitting isreal is okay and deserved it but when they do something like this it's not okay now, especially when this has come out and all the 'isreal is at fault" suddenly find it uncomfortable?Still waiting for you quote all those posts in this thread saying that the innocent girl who was murdered and then desecrated deserved it.
