I never heard of hydrocarbon resources in the east Mediterranean, nor did I of a population more than 15 million (whole Palestinians plus Israeli citizens). Anyway what I mean here is not from power point in the militaristic term or with materialistic priority. In other words, it’s all a matter of quality (and not quantity) which is the great advantage of this corner of the Middle East in the world scale. Economic prosperity could be only a resulting fruit of such prospect.

How the world sees this key problem, what would be its approach to it, and how it would be tackled in practice in the favor of opportunities, are among the so many fundamental questions that next to the unfolding events in the Middle Ease & the world stage, the next generations and history will judge the answers.

We’d better not to forget the grim reality of this post that is heartbreaking:

A WOMAN suspected of recruiting more than 80 female suicide bombers has confessed to organising their rapes so she could later convince them that martyrdom was the only way to escape the shame.

It’s a stigma on humanity. Nobody who is aware of what’s going on with these victims of evil forces amongst the human society could stay indifferent and silent. Accusation, blame game & phony quarrel are not the way to resolution. Unfortunately, something is going wrong with all of us!

I think Jews and Muslims, at the end of the day, will get along much better than Christians and Jews, given Christians always view Jews as Jesus killer, no matter what they say, they don’t like Jews. But in the Middle East that’s not the case, IF the land issue get resolved.

I really suspect that anybody here intends to cheer murder or suicidal operation. It’s all about a debate over the root cause of such inhuman acts (that in a natural & neutral condition is morally condemned in any form anytime anywhere), which is nothing than “enforced occupation” in the Middle East today, either by Israel or the US. There is no such acceptable justification for occupation as redoing history or time reversal. If so, then a country like Greece or Italy could hold that claim over most of the southern Europe, or for that matter Iran could do the same for most of the Middle East, South & Central Asia, if possible. That’s not just right.
You can never solve a problem until you understand it. Are you looking for a solution? or do you stand for the status quo and continuation of hatred & bloodshed?

dave742,
“They can only continue their expansion plans if there is chaos and conflict.”

Ye, this sentence correctly serve both Israel & Iran. Both need a crisis & an enemy to survive. Both are religious states that are mirroring each other in nature, one Jewish, the other Islamic. No doubt that in a calm & peaceful Middle East, there would be neither an Islamic Republic of Iran, nor a Jewish state of Israel.

& to all the dear readers here,

Have you ever asked yourself what a two states solution for the Mid-East conflict means? Have you ever found a durable state, in history, without territorial integrity? [Bangladesh(Pakistan)-India example may serve as a good track]
Two states solution is not the real solution to the Middle East conflict, folly, encompassing with the wrong address. We might be near or far from that however, the real solution to this old wound is only one state comprising of Jews, Christians & Muslims regardless of their religion, brotherly living side by side in peace. There are prerequisites to that of which Islamic reformation is the major one, which at the moment may seem beyond the reach.
But at least we may wish for a real solution… Amen.

Al Qaeda’s assertion that 9/11 was due to the outrage of US troops on Saudi soil is a statement worth dwelling on for a minute. Technically that could be considered “occupation”. No doubt that was what the hijackers themselves believed. But I am more interested in what those who inspired and directed them hoped to accomplish. I think there is a simple answer. They hoped that this act would gain them popularity in the Muslim world; which it did for a time. Their barbarism in Iraq,
particularly the targeting of Shiites, has done more that any occupation to discredit the cause of martyrdom operations in the Muslim world. Shaming men and women into being suicide bombers means that they are running out of volunteers. I think these stories are illustrative of this trend.

The correlation between occupation and suicide bombing is significant, but this in itself doesn’t go nearly far enough in analyzing the phenomenon. I am beginning to think that those directing these operations, rocket attacks, etc. are more interested in preserving the status quo than getting rid of any occupier. If peace broke out they would be out of a job.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Of course not. They broke the latest truce on Nov. 4 because of Hamas’ “peace offensive”. Whenever it looks like Hamas is making concilatory gestures and they are in the media saying they will recognize Israel inside the ‘67 borders, Israel freaks out and does whatever they can to provoke Hamas. They break the truce, Hamas launches rockets, and Israel is free to massacre Palestinians. They just make sure the media forgets about the part that Israel broke the truce. Israel has been doing this forever. The can only continue their expansion plans if there is chaos and conflict. It’s the same with the US. It’s sad it’s so easy to get the sheeple to fall in line. If I was president, I could get the sheeple in this country to support a war on Sweden within 3 months using propaganda alone.

Most people who contribute to this site suffer from INTENTIONAL IGNORANCE and they are masters of making up words, stories and baseless dramatic statement. At the end of the day more people get killed and for 50 years still everything is what it was before.

I’m almost at the point that believe Israel DOES NOT WANT to make peace and maintaining the status que is what they wish for. EVERYTHING is crap and propaganda.

Now meanwhile Iran is also taking advantage of the situation, and the Arabs are doing an excellent above the average to make more infighting and diversion is truly getting what it theirs.

I truly believe Israel WANTS and THIRST for Iran being involve with Hamas so this state of nothing being settled continued until eternity. Israel and Iran serve each other greatly, on the expense of Palestine.

So what you wrote here, please know that most people on this site are infected with bias and dogmatic virus and as soon as it comes to Palestinians this virus explode and people lose their logic and senses. Now fasten your seatbelt and read more propaganda posts.
