Israel’s Arabs Are the Answer

Disproportional of that conflict makes believe that a group such Hamas which technicaly has no chance to destroy Israel but their own is likely to fall right in the hands of Israel. And on the other hands Israel seems welcoming the opportunity to show off its muscle in the name of "right to exist", and "right to defend itself". After all said and done, civilians casualities will mount. Such action will elevate Hamas to a force to be recognize in any future negogiation. Israel will be seen as the honest, good powerful bystander that took so many lives. Quiet will return to the area, Both party will retire. And if there is any hope for a new solution for the palestinian issue. Israel will show outrage from one of its neighbors, another war will be waged, and so on. A long lasting peace will come only if Israel give up Palestinian lands unconditionaly, Israel is a taking a chance right now in Gaza taking so many lives and losing lives to achieve what probably could be achieved by giving back the land to its wrightful owner with no excuses.

Arab leadership around the world is more likely to have lasting impact.

Where has the outrage been from the upper reaches of the Arab community for the Hamas tactics?

That is where any hope for a real solution lies.

I believe that the only solution is change in policies of US. The whole world is suffering economic and other consequences of US policies. We should change our basic policy of supporting wars all over the world. We can reestablish our strategy and become the good superpower of the world again with support of nations all over this world.
Please read the interesting discussion of Time with Avrum Burg, the scion of one of Israel's founding families (His father was the deputy speaker of the first Knesset, and Burg himself later became speaker of the legislature, and a member of Israel's cabinet) :

Fine article, but I am a little sick of hearing this crap about the "Age of Obama". The man hasn't done anything as president yet, but he is already receiving more praise than Bill Clinton ever did.

Anyone who believes peace in that region is possible outside of God's Word is walking in ignorance. There has been fighting for how many years there. In scripture there was a king named David from that general region who went to war. But in the end his actions had lead to tragedy for his family and God told him this would happen. Are we any different in these modern times? No. Be not angry..., Live in peace..., Love your brother..., Get understanding....

Anything less is apartheid. Agreed 100%.

Now if only we can get our media to stop their bias towards the Israeli's in mainstream media maybe we will have a chance of finally burying this conflict once and for all. Our media makes it seem like Israel is being picked on for things that happened 60yrs ago by a bunch of terrorists but this is not the reality. They are being fought for things they are doing right now, today, things that most Americans would fight against also. As long as we have unconditional support for Israel we will hold equal responsibility for all those deaths and shattered lives. Our blind support for them is not good for them or for us.

Israel wants all the lands of Canaan (in their words) but she is left with two ways to achieve it. The first is to include the populations living on it and the next, her current strategy, is to steal the land and marginalize the people living on it. One has a chance of succeeding; the other will lead to another Jewish holocaust once our people lose support for their Zionism. This is already happening as can be seen from some of our posts, and will culminate with them losing the $4 billion a year we give them to support their massive military. Once that happens they're screwed, and these will seem like the good old days.

The fact of the matter is that the Zionist state never wanted and does not want to see permananent peace in the Middle East. It does not suit her because once peace is achieved, it would not be able to extend its borders and grab its neighbour land; it would not be able to bully, invade and build illegal settlements; it would not be able to exit as a proxy state of USA and destable the region, which is also in the West's interest. Israel is also aware that in peace and peaceful environment, Arabs will be able to prosper their economies, develop technologies and possibly build their own nuclear capabilities with their oil money, which would threaten Israel military supremacy and a bully boy??? status in the Middle East. Israel wants a joy ride and has a merry go round in the occupied territories; it does not like Palestinians to throw stones and fire rockets when it drops cruise missiles, smart bombs, shells on Palestinians homes, streets and shops to kill innocent men, women and children in hordes and cripple their economy. The killing of civilians, the assassination of political leaders, the destruction of fruit orchards, the ploughing of homes, routine mass searches of the population, the separation of Palestinians from water supplies, the separation of farmers from their fields and the division of towns with the security wall ??? all combine to make this 40 year occupation among the harshest in the world.
In the past the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and Israel's efforts ???to dominate, expel, starve and humiliate an entire people??? as front-line Israel soldiers who refuse to participate in the occupation describe it, was something that was tangential to US interests. It was a cause of Israel???s defeat against Hezebollah in Lebanon. The usefulness of Israel as a military ally in the oil-rich region was more important than ending the occupation of Palestine. Alexander Haig described Israel as our ???unsinkable air craft carrier.??? But now, the one-sided ???special relationship??? of the United States with Israel is also the root cause of terrorism against the United States. Israel, a country the size of New Jersey, has been receiving 25% to 30% of US foreign aid for decades. This tiny country has been receiving as much foreign assistance as sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean combined. This funding has made the United States taxpayer the underwriter of the occupation of the Palestinian Territories. And, this occupation is not just illegal ??? it is brutal. The killing of civilians, the assassination of political leaders, the destruction of fruit orchards, the ploughing of homes, routine mass searches of the population, the separation of Palestinians from water supplies, the separation of farmers from their fields and the division of towns with the security wall ??? all combine to make this 40 year occupation among the harshest in the world.

we need the Palestinians rights We want the return of the Palestinians and Israelis to the negotiating table

Uou hardly can find a single Israeli Arab who wants destraction of Israel.. Why should they? They enjoy the best life than anywhere in Arab world, and unprecendent freedom.

The statistics presented in this article are heavily biased by the author???s opinion. In science it???s called ???cherry picking evidence???. Arab extreme left-wing parties are excluded from governing coalitions in exactly the same way that Jewish extreme right-wing parties, like Moledet, are excluded. Arab members of large parties are always part of the parliament. For example, Ariel Sharon???s government had an Arab minister.

The majority of the Arab population in Israel lives in rural areas and the $85 vs. $130 investment comparison represents disparities in investment between rural vs. urban areas than between Arab and Jews.

Gavron either does not know Israeli history, or is delibrately missleading the readers. The Arab parties were always counted in the leftist side, and they were the votes that brought Arafat and hiis terrorist into Israel (the Oslo Accord). It was against the wishes of most relevant part of the Israeli nation, the Jewish voters, both the Kennest members and opinion polls..

Now even the "peace" camp agree that the Oslo accord was a tragic mistake. Thia is the result of the Arab vote.
