Kathy, the U.S. could stop Israel tomorrow if it so desired. But it wants Israel to be the power in the area and so it cares nothing for the Palestinians.

Judge joe, to be correct Israel wants the Palestinians either dead or moved elsewhere so they can have their racially pure State. Of course any claim of racial purity is fanciful!

Grace, death, starvation and desperation do make people behave badly. The Israelis can’t use these justifications!

We have the European Union and in North America we have NAFTA. It might make sense economically, but the fact remains that cultural differences and the resultant racism will always be a dividing factor. The EU courts make it mandatory for all member nations adhere to the same human rights provisions, whether individual countries agree or not. Imagine a Middle East Union. It would be impossible because of vindictiveness, zealotry, antagonism, and fanaticism of the religious extremists. They have forgotten their ethnic history in their own holy books that claim they are ALL descendants of Shem.

Ju, it has been statistically proven, that in times of peace, education flourishes and educated people have fewer children. Living as Palestinians do, in a dire hand to mouth situation as you admit, is directly related to a increased desire to reproduce- as ones children and neighbors children and other relatives are murdered. Death, starvation, and desperation make people behave badly. There, but for the grace of fate, go I.

David G, thank you for the welcome. Kathy, it seems as if both sides want to kill each other off. If this happens, we know for a fact that Israel would be the temporary winner with US backing. All past efforts at diplomacy have failed miserably, with the one exception of Anwar Sadat, and look what happened to him. It’s a sad commentary on humanity when people who have the same ancestry and belong to the same haploid group have such extreme animosity toward their own cousins. As for the question another article poses, Israel is definitely the 51st state of the USA.

Some sort of snafu caused my name to come through in the first posting as “ju.” Actually, it is supposed to be judge joe. Apologies for the misprint.

Jeannie do you think they would watch any of the several youtube videos about Iraqi Veterans against War? There are many that show the military leaving their orders and going awol because they realized that they were being ordered to invade an innocent nation, killing innocent people. Would they listen to that? The speeches and interviews are very good. I know young people can be stubborn when it comes to listening to the close adults in their lives but maybe they would listen to some their own age who have already been there and chose to leave??

Ju, if no diplomatic solution then do you see any other type of solution? Or do you think one side just has to kill the other one off?

David are you picturing the US could step in with a diplomatic solution? Perhaps by withdrawing support for Israel? What steps could be taken to resolve this?

Ju, welcome to this blog. Tribalism is alive and well across many cultures and is often fanned by religious belief. And all too often, tribalism is encouraged by politicians who have other fish to fry.

The U.S. could, if it was so minded, stop the problem tomorrow. But Israel is part of its plan to control the world!

The perpetual conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is a manifestation of traditional Middle Eastern tribalism. It has as its origins an expanding population in a land of very limited resources, ancient feuds over who owns the watering hole, and a harsh climate that makes agriculture and grazing nearly impossible. The constant influx of Jews from Russia and former iron curtain countries is a strain on the originally mandated borders. High-rise apartments can only go so high. The prolific Palestinians, existing hand-to-mouth in a dire crisis situation, prove that poverty is a great aphrodesiac. If they let go of their religious fairy tales and domed holy sites, the ingrained animosity and hatred of generations will still foment nothing more than warfare and bloodshed. There is no diplomatic solution.

precise Jeff B.

“Palestinians are the decendants of the ancient hebrews, and the rightfully owners and heirs of Palestine.

What I wonder about is , how the hell did those strayed ‘belivers’ ( of mainly ¢st-european origin), convince the western establishment that their forfathers were expelled from Palestine, ( thousands of years ago). ?
The answer to the question is of course due to religion. Christ and the western culture having Christiany as man belief.

What, at least, George Galloway with his “Viva Palestina” in the latest few days trying to bring help the 1.5mill. starving people in Gaza may have shown to the world, is, that the Egyptian goverment are way more worried on behalf of the Jewish people than what the suppressed people in Gaza may have suffered and is suffering. and this is the reason that I
see a potential for a solution.

The Eqyptian land, Sinai is a desert with plenty of uninhabited squarekilometers.
The Jewish people are known for being exceptional to convert DESERT to arable land.
Why not give Sinai to the Jews AND Palestina to Palestinians? won’t everybody be happeeee.then.?

Oh – I forgot.
Those, stupid Egypt’ns,(it may be very SERIOUS ( stupidity ) has deported G. Galloway back to England, never allowed to turn back to the country. They shouldn’t have done that.
THAT WAS REALLY STUPID.

Israel is on a Kamikaze style suicide mission. They think they are gaining in strength, but gaining strength through death and murder is a Dark mission. Going for broke if they die , they will take the whole planet down with them. Paranoid fools. Oh, I know, I know,”(I) never lived there, I can’t judge.” I say not true!. I have lived and seen people and: I see no good come out of Israel’s ways and means to their own survival. They have it only half right. If we all live, they will survive too!
