Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

I did not make it clear that the story above was written by the Jewish Chronicle!!!

I have added the following lines to it.

glad i got bored with this thread many weeks ago ...... in dog years, this should run into the next millenium

(Not you Cynic), Are you lot for real ?.....this is turning into a political web site, crazy !.....if any of this nonsense was to impact the price of oil : I'd understand but it's like a practice "blogging space" for nutcases !.

Cynic and RF, Simple answer to your "problems" is don't read the thread.

There are few posters, as well as may as well as a few threads, which I don't scan through and don't seem to miss them.

Would you wish censorship of other peoples choices?

You don't have to answer?

But the easiest thing is to impose your own censorship on your self.

Don't know who you are calling nutcases, there's only one on this thread and I don't read his posts :)

I think most residences of Israel and Palestine are tired of war and eager to have peace. Outsiders may think differently..... I think the media is responsible for many problems including this one.

I hope Obama can generate an environment for the people of the two faiths to discuss their differences and decide about their life themselves.

I do believe my friends it is now time to put this thread "to bed".

I stay up late.

Which bed?


Sivad, if it bores you, read a different thread.

Sounds like a good idea, sivad.
I must admit reading "Isreal is no homeland for them, despite being pronounced so" the day after I saw "Defiance" on DVD made me see red - still does......
What next I wonder - all immigrants to the US should leave and they shouldn't have a country and it should be handed back to the Native Americans - there is actually a stronger argument for that - the Jews have lived in the land of Israel of thousands of years and someone comes out with that sort of incredibly arrogant comment.....there's room for Israel and room for a Palestinian state too.......anyway, I'll leave this thread for now.

Fred, stop worrying and go and have a pie & pint .... lol

There may be room for the Palestinians and Israelis when Israel give back all the land they have taken from the Palestinians and allowed Israeli settlers to live on much of it.

Aldwick, I have just 30mins ago escaped from hospital, if I could walk to the pub and put the pint on expenses I would do.

But I am enjoying a nice glass of white wine for the first time in three weeks.

I haven't seen many postings from you for a while.

Ok - this thread will continue then.
Israel gave back all of the Sinai to Egypt in exchange for peace and that worked. Result - peace and no deaths.
Israel left Gaza and Hamas rocketed Israeli towns trying to kill and maim indiscriminately. Result - war and deaths.
It ain't difficult for anybody to figure out......

What's missing here is a taliban thread...! it would compliment perfectly this exercise in failed journalism, ahh !, I can just see it now ! : Ladies and Gents you can vote for your favourite taliban stonghold now ! the lies are (sorry lines) now open : dial Fred1new on claptrap -------, calls to this line cost a bomb !, you must be just not in your nappies still and have permission to stay up late....!. Yep it would look great !.

Adding to this : it would be more sensible to have a thread about Iraq and Afganistan where our forces are involved in a terrible conflict costing British lives rather than this other lot !....this is Britain after all !.

RF, Why not start such a thread.


It seems the present American Administration doesn't hold your views on the Two State solution.

I think the "governing class" of Israel will have to rethink their policies and future actions.

Didn't realise that America was still bailing Israel out to the tune of 3.5 billion a year.

required field,
excellent idea - start one :)

I think we should leave the problems for them to discuss.

Governments should be elected by the people of the two countries without any external interference. They can/will then solve their problems.

Those who live there have received enough ideas.

Unfortunately, no country is an island unto itself.

Sometimes, it is useful to have "unbiased arbitrators" or somebody to give both sides a kick up the ?

Also, neither sides in the problem are independent, they are funded from outside their own frontiers and armed by outside agencies.

Check the true economy of Israel.

Seems to me, that Israeli "government minister", in the shape of Benjamin Netanyahu, has been rebuked by America after the atrocities of Gaza and told to go home and think again!

Is there going to be further changes in America's Middle East policy? Does Israel have any oil for export?
