"I would build 2 massive walls with a 100 metre 'no mans land' between Palestine and Israel. The Israelis cannt do land grab and Hamas cannot tunnel!" The Israelis have given away land rich in oil to Egypt to make peace and out of the 4 main aggressors against them it's the Palestinians who are perpetuating the war - they have sowrn to carry on killing until all the Jews are dead - hows that for a 'peaceful' religion? Z | |||

"Why Israel? Why not Hamas? Nobody ever considers the hundreds of rockets fired at Israel by Hamas or the children used as human shields by the Palestinians for years. I am much more concerned about Ebola and the dangers that brings" Quite agree, Z | |||

"Why should we send in our troops to fight a war that has been raging for years and has got nothing to do with us? We have lost enough of them fighting wars that have nothing to do with us. A trade embargo would hurt them a lot more. " I'm not sure if a trade embargo would really make any diference - do they export much and how much do they import? Z | |||

"The roots of this conflict go back to the deal that set up the state of Israel, which was a deal actually brokered by Britain. That deal called for the then State of Palestine, internationally recognised as such, to cede territory for the formation of a second neighboring state, Israel. Once this was done, however, the international community then decided for whatever reason to cease recognition of the Palestinian state. Next came land grabs from the Israeli state. Now, hamas has a LOT to answer for in their actions past and present. They have, however, multiple times begged the UN as well as countries on an individual basis for the recognition of statehood that they were effectively stripped of. While i in no way condone the methods they turned to, if you push people far enough then actions like that aren't unexpected. It's gone on so long that it had now turned into offshoot segments who want nothing less than a full return to the once state of Palestine. The are, likewise, elements within Israel which do not want a resolution. And elements outside the conflict completely who will lose a lot of money if the conflict stops. " | |||

"Not all Palestinians are Hamas..... Ordinary Palestinian people are being murdered by Israel's campaign ..... Yep - because Hamas are using them as human shields Z" And also because Israel seems Palestinian loss of life as Less important than israeli. The Israeli response is disproportionate, and the state of Israel would rather knowingly kill countless civilians than send soldiers to do what they are trained to do. Were the uk to operate the same policy, most of the world would raise up in outrage. | |||

The us aren't the only suppliers to Israel. America is not solely responsible for the ills of the world. And I'm betting that elements within America have also supplied hamas. | |||

Z" Not quite true. Loss of life was always carefully calculated and weighed. It still is. Plus, we now have the technology to use surgical strikes more effectively. Israel does have the ability to be more effective and limit collateral damage, they simply choose not to. | |||

"I think many should keep an openmind on this and realise that Israel is not necessarily the victim in all this. You may speak of Hamas firing rockets at Israel but these rockets barely cause any damage to Israel nor have they killed anyone with these rockets. Israel has all these sophisticated technology that intercepts all these rockets anyway so they barely even land. This is a war that has been going on for years. It's not the Palestinians trying to kill the Jews. It's the Palestinians resisting living under occupation, living under siege, living in open air prison. What do you think they will do? Just sit there and watch their land being taken piece by piece. It's already been stolen. And saying it's against the Jews is not right either. it's the Zionists. Have you seen what comments they make about the Palestinians? How they disregard them as human beings but seen as insects that need to be crushed? How their MP's mention that all the mothers should be killed so they don't give birth to any more arabs. Have you seen how they sit and cheer on the hills and watch the massacre take place? All of this is just a drop in the ocean to what they really think of the Palestinians. No matter what anyone says - Israel is the one who is doing the wrongdoing. There's no humanity left in them. They are the ones planting the seeds of war in a land in which they lived together peacefully many years ago. ..so, let's not play the Israel is the victim card here. What a load of bollocks.

Ok, history being manipulated which beats direct relevance to the conflict discussed, and as you are familiar with genocide, how often are people told that the holocaust of ww2 is 'the biggest holocaust in history'? Fact is, it's not. History is rehashed as suits a need at a particular time, and is often spun accordingly as needed. That is as much in domestic political interest as it is international balance of power politics. The agenda for such will vary on a case by case basis, as will the bias for spin. Double standards isn't necessarily the way I'd have termed it. And it does seem to me that's it's only being caked a double standard, in this particular case, if it is less supportive of Israeli actions. I am not after a passing contest either, hun. I've studied, I've questioned, and I've made my own decisions about how i feel, just as everyone else is welcome to do. I'm simply staying my side of things. | |||

"I know this sounds unthinkable but I am beginning to wonder ? Why? This is a war that has been raging since the '40's and until the palestinians decide to stop trying to kill all the Jews nothing will change. Z" I thought it was the fact that the Israeli (not Jews) authorities decided to blockade the daily lives of Palestinians to a point where they don't see their life worth living and so are firing rockets into Israel who have decided to go an kill'em all! Being someone who has stood at the border into Gaza and seen what happens, the only solution would have to come from the Israelis who won't. Palestinians have to wait (usually two days) at the border. Can't bring in anything into Gaza. Half of Gaza has been cleared to build the security wall as a buffer zone. The costal area is guarded by the Israeli army too. So essentially their a 4km wide prison. The only thing that is stopping then from crushing the whole of Gaza is pressure from sound minded Israelis (and Jews around the world). | |||

Technically, Britain alone was not responsible for the genocide in North America. The Spanish, French, and later American governments also helped there..... With estimates of deaths as high as 100 million. Actually, I'm going to look up Britain and tasmania, that will be interesting to read about. I've just checked and It was Tasmania I was thinking of. Er happy ( ? ) reading. " Lol, it's knowledge that will come in handy..... similar to that the uk is the only country so far too have had a successful counter insurgency operation. Malaya, i believe. | |||

"Someone mentioned about solutions. Now, i don't mean to be rude to anyone but we're just some Tom, Dick and Harry who's not involved at all to what is happening in Palestine at the moment. Yes, our hearts and minds are connected but when it comes to a solution. We won't be of much help. Why do i say this? We aren't the ones who have had our families totally anhillated. We aren't the ones who have lost our homes and our businesses that we built from scratch with our own hands. We aren't the ones who are dealing with all this. The mentality surely changes if one is involved in the conflict. Only yesterday a baby had to be buried by a stranger because every member of its family had been killed and no one left to bury them. Remember the baby who was born from its dead mother that i mentioned this other day? That baby died when Israel shelled Gaza's only power plant causing the incubator to stop working which was the sole way of keeping the baby alive. Now, a whole nation going through all this - what would be their reaction and what solution would they want? We can talk about rockets not being fired anymore. We can talk about a ceasefire. We can talk about all this. But we aren't the nation that has lost it's land and it's families generations after generations. A solution will have to come from them to what it is they want. And for now, they have mentioned all they want is for their siege to be over, open the border crossings and just let them live. Now, if Israel doesn't want anything to do with that but continue keeping Gaza under siege and keep building all these illegal settlements - it appears to be them who do not want to find a solution and are asking for trouble.

"Haven't really read through it all so might have already been said. But shouldn't we be helping isreal? Well probably not as they are doing a good enough job but we should be supporting them. Hamas is the problem here. I could write for ages about the matter. Just stop being fooled by the media. Hamas is the problem take them away from the equation and there is no fighting. Isreal has spent millions on anti-rocket systems to protect there population. Palestine has spent millions building tunnels into isreal so hurt and damage the isreal land. That should say it all" | |||

Frankly, Israels actions seem to many to show that it wants a complete destruction of Palestine. It's a very complex situation and really there are, as i stated earlier, factions involved which further complicate the situation. I believe the demand you speak of came from hamas? Hamas is one actor but isn't the actual voice of the Palestinian people. Their voice is lost because people listen to hamas or to Israel. | |||

"While people condemn the Israeli "blaming" of Gaza for the actions of Hammas, it is conveniently forgotten that Egyptian foreign policy also stops the entry of aid to Gaza as it is worried over security issues and help to Hammas " And because it was given oil rich land from Israel. Politics is twisted. You do have a point about the double barricade, though. | |||

"In a nutshell. Effectively this is what has happened in a land we now call Israel. I'd be Israel, and you (the reader) can be the Palestinians. So, you have a beautiful five bedroom house and have never had any problems with your neighbours or anyone else for that matter. I turn up, and i tell you 'sorry, this five bedroom house of yours is now mine. You might as well get your things and move out, because it's mine now'. Now, i don't want to seem like a complete animal so i tell you 'no worries, you don't have to leave completely. You can stay in the bathroom and in the toilet and these are the only two places where you can be'. To make things worse. I tell you 'now, if you want to go outside the toilet. You cannot unless i give you permission. And even then, it's my choice if i want to let you go through or not'. Now, even though this was your house originally. It no longer is. It's mine now. And if there's something you want to do in this place that you once called home, you'd have to go through me first. May not be the best example but that's what's happened when Mr Balfour told those that wanted a state of Israel that 'go on this land is yours now, do as you wish'. " No, this is pretty much as simple as you can get | |||

MAD pretty much ties American hands when dealing with another nuclear state, just as it does every other state. | |||

"I'm not pro Israeli and Deffonatly not pro Hamas !!!! Just thinking out loud the unthinkable to stop the killing ! Another suggestion the United Nations occupy gaza ? Until the Palestians decide to stop the killing nothing will work. Z One of the most thought provoking quotes I have read concerning the conflict is "if the Palestinians stop attacking Israel, the war will cease to be. If the Israelis stop attacking Palestine, Israel will cease to be" I think there's a lot of truth in that." No, there isn't. Palestine does not have the ability to destroy Israel. | |||

"There should be a stop to major arms and financial support to israel imo, as they wield power that is too great for their size that is too freely used. If this was any other nation they would long ago have had major sanctions. It is distressing to see the loss of life on both sides, but there seems to be a thirst for revenge that is unsettling. They hold a get out of jail card that is over used, and they are not a meek nor weak country. The world needs to help keep their power within bounds now, and they should be held to account. " I didn't know that Israel received financial aid and there's no way you'd be able to stp arms from being sold to them - it would carry on illegaly. And as for the size of the state - what difference does that make? Great Britain once ruled most of the world! Z | |||

Do you think the Israeli army would be stupid enough to give Hamas 2 hours notice to move any equipment if they thought there'd actually be any? Btw what ammunition, there was nothing there. Also, were the CNN journalists also offering themselves as human shields as they'd been playing football with these boys minutes before? 4 kids from a fishing family were gunned down on a beach. If another country did this then it'd be classed as a war crime. | |||

" The roots of the current conflict are ancient in origin. The latest escalation is just a symptom of the fact that the Israelites have been wondering in the desert until 1948 when the annexed (part) of Palestine. The conflict will only end when all sides recognise the legitimacy of the other. Politics plays a heavy hand in the current carnage being enacted in so far as states like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi have no interest in the Palestinian cause as they see organisations such as Hamas and Hezbollah as destabilising splinter groups. In other words its a cluster fuck with no real chance of being resolved in my lifetime. | |||

I feel the same way about so called Patriots. We spend so much time dividing ourselves up and focusing on our differences in an almost fervent way. I believe this is an intentional manipulation on regular people by those in power that has been going on since the dawn of mankind. Keeps us firmly focused on all the wrong things so the power and control can remain exactly where it is. | |||
