Personally, when it comes to the Palestine/Israel conflict. I say, both sides have committed warcrimes as both have killed innocent civilians and we all know that. The thing with Israel is that they usually like peace through military dominance. Like, when they took the Sinai from Egypt back in 1956, they said that they don't want it, they just took it to force Egypt into a peace treaty. Then, when political pressure got them out, they got pissed off and took the Sinai again in 1967, then when they had their victory they started thinking...Israel tripled in size, Arab armies are weak, we are the strongest. Then it ended up with Moshe Dayan saying something like "we do not need peace on paper as the peace we need was already achieved" then he followed by explaining how he likes peace through military might. And Golda Meir by saying "The Sinai is now Israel and it will be settled by Israelis."Not a stupid question, if you hadn't asked it that had been stupid. There are people here supporting Israel and there are people here not supporting Israel. Both sides have their valid points sometimes. There are major issues addressed by Seno which I agree with sometimes and other times I disagree with him. Sometimes I agree with VDKMS, other times I don't, with saying that; I am trying to stay neutral and not support any of the actors in this conflict. I am, however, not so pleased with the discussion here. Instead of playing the blame game, I would like to discuss solutions, not the current situation. To achieve a solution, we need to think outside the box. Personally, the only way to achieve peace is for Israel to gamble and not playing the old game, which so many countries are playing. They need a two state solution, Israel has achieved a lot militarily, but they have screwed things up politically.
In my opinion, if things stay the way they are, Israel will not last for too long. If they just live with their neighbors by the sword, well....we're going to see how long it will take for the sword to break. Especially, with their best friend America falling economically. Two state solution, I'm also skeptical about that. Because I'll tell you....the Palestinian resistance or whatever and Hamas they just want the entire strip to be Palestine, they don't want Israel on the map. And I'm sure, Israel also doesn't want Palestine on the map. If you remember back in the day during the "peace talks" or whatever, Palestine was going to be a country technically surrounded by Israel. So, they can't get their goods in without passing through Israel so it keeps Israel with the upper hand.
This conflict is really complicated. I honestly want it fixed right this moment cuz, that's too much blood so far.
