See, this is the problem....each conflict is not because ONE is doing something to another...there are always at least two sides.

@All: However, please feel free to proceed, but be warned - on political topics riots in the forum start fast....this is why we "dislike" discussing such topics...

sorry for bringing it up


I refuse to take sides, never have in this conflict. I just hope and pray they find a permanent resolution.

having spent time in israel, i can see the culture of life there, with the mutual fear and hatred, a permanent solution will be nothing short of a miracle

i always hope for a permanent solution, the fighting benefits nobody, but, sadly, i dont see it happening
of course this is just my opinion

No sorry needed, it is all fine as long it stays clean - which is hard on such topics

A musical story, how this could end:




Sadly, this is in my opinion the most likely result.

I don't have much hope for seeing a lasting peace there (or in the Middle East in general) in my lifetime.
But hopefully people will keep coming up with original ideas to try to make it happen ...

Especially one such as this, where the conflict is not simple - but caused by a heated mix of racial, religious, social and political factors, and fuelled by belligerence and extremism on BOTH sides.

As with many arguments, there is not black and white here, just a very murky, depressing shade of grey.

And there is blood on the hands of those in western Europe too, as our countries were involved in the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.

To quote the palestinian terrorist leader in John le Carré's "The Little Drummer Girl": It was as if we didn't exist for those people."

Yes, it's a blame game.....

Like JonnyP said, everyone's to blame.
