Are you talking about the Palestinian mandate of 1922 that included Jordan? The same land that had been part of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years? There has never been a country named Palestine. The Phillistines weren't even Arab. Arabs never wanted any jews there in the first place. That's why they supported Hitler. I don't support the settlements, but you have to be kidding yourself if you think removing all of them would stop all violence. You can spout off a lie 1000 times over and it's still a lie. You make argument using emotion and no fact (btw... it's airplane). You refuse to see the truth that a large part of this violence stems from a culture that would rather send it's children to blow themselves up than see them make something of themselves. How many UN resolutions has the arab league brought upon Israel as soon as it defends itself? They are one-sided and only isolate Israel to more extreme policies. More propaganda and lies that you can't back based on fact. One rocket bomb? That is laughable. Go do your research on the number of terrorist attacks against Israel since it's inception. How can you believe any media that spreads false claims about massacres when they fake funerals to further their cause: <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xRz5WnHemkw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Please name one Israeli hostage that has been returned alive during war time. You probably liked this "prisoner" swap which netted the bad guys a murderer for 2 dead bodies: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article4345674.ece I'm trying to talk about peace. Come back when you are interested in not just blaming one side. See through the propaganda as there are too many lives, which you so truly care about, at stake.
"The fact is, close to five years after 9/11 and fifteen years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the United States still lacks a coherent national security policy. Instead of guiding principles, we have what appear to be a series of ad hoc decisions, with dubious results. Why invade Iraq and not North Korea or Burma? Why intervene in Bosnia and not Darfur?...Are we committed to use force wherever there's a despotic regime that's terrorizing its people—and if so, how long do we stay to ensure democracy takes root?...Perhaps someone inside the White House has clear answers to these questions. But our allies—and for that matter our enemies—certainly don't know what the answers are. More important, neither do the American people. Without a well-articulated strategy that the public supports and the world understands, America will lack the legitimacy—and ultimately the power—it needs to make the world safer than it is today." –Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope (2006), page 302.
