When I think of Israel and Palestine, the expression "possession is 9/10th of the law comes to mind."
The Balfour Declaration is one of a number of British/European declarations regarding other territories of the world that so frequently did not take into consideration the mindset of the then occupants. It set the groundwork for a jewish state, but all that transpired evolved to the armed conflict that continues today.
In my humble opinion, there will never be a peaceful agreement between the Jews and the Palestinians. NEVER!
On a Fox program one night, they had two retired USA colonels on with I believe Bill O'Reilly, and they were asked, what will it take to have peace in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict? Both colonels looked at each other, and it was like stereo, they said 'one side has to vanquish the other'.
So, when the Palestinians shoot thousands of rockets off at Israel, I consider that a declaration of war, and in my mindset, gives license to Israel to do as this no name said, flatten Palestine. I say the Israelis should vanquish all of Palestine. Eventually, Israel will move from the current life for a life stance to that of vanquishing the enemy, a bunch of crazed murderous mussies. Hamas continues to this day to promote the notion of complete annihilation of the Jews, so why yield an inch to them. Vanquish the murderous b*st*rds!
