Israel will take care of it..there is no question about that.\n\nAnd American will come out and publicily say that Israel should not have but behind closed doors we will be grateful for it.\n\nAmerica cannot afford to get involved at the moment.. \nHowever, we cannot afford to allow Iran to have a nuclear program either.

you are exactly right.and Israel doesn't do anything good for anybody except there self's.\nIsrael will do ANYTHING for themselves only.\nand anybody want to see what I'm talking about come to Palestine and see with your own eyes.no one tell me we see it on the news.BC they do not show you anything on the media except what Israel wants people to see

Its more than a chance, they're actually planning on it. Whether it will actually happen or not depends entirely on the US and Israel. \n\nIran has already said that Israel should be wiped off of the face of the planet, so I suspect Israel will step up. I hope so anyways.

no, i'm hopeful, but it seems so unlikely...and not either side is 100% innocent...but seems that israel is intentionally setting goals and demands for the palestinians to meet in order for hopes of peace that they know they can't do, or make it impossible for them to achieve.  ruining their land, burning farms, bulldozing, shooting people in the streets is not way to allow that area to stabilize and police itself.  several years ago israel kept saying, like they are now, that they need to get police out and stop the militants, but with the occupation, they would shoot at anybody even the police, making it impossible to their job..so its very much like palestine gets set up to fail, add to that all the frustration and hate coming from the palestinians and its a candle and powder keg.

I would try ,but it is going to be very,very difficult...since they have the support of the most powerful country in the world...Someone must remind Israel that they are not above the law,and that as any other country they should obey some rules...Some sanctions would be in order to remind Israel that they are not the only country in this world and if the rest of the world can survive without Israel,Israel can't survive without the rest of the world...\n\nAnyway, I saw that the EU is doing some steps forward in order to make Israel comply with the international law,but let's see if they are going to accomplish something.They will vote(hope favorable) for a resolution that condemns Israel for its attacks on Gaza and ask them to apply the UN resolutions...

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.

The UN is currently dealing with it.\n\nIran doesn't like that and so they bait us.\n\nIf something more is needed, it will become obvious with time.\n\nIran's biggest problem is their vocalized threat of nuclear attack on Israel.

Less---\n\nIsrael-Palenstinian issues have not been resolved\nIraq is a mess and less stable\nIran is a destabilizing force-- moreso than 6 years ago

I think that peace must be had.  The Isrealis and the Palestinians need to be seperated.  There is too much hate for them to live together and sing "cume bye yah".  Both sides must agree to recognize each other and agree to total peace.  \n\nThere should be a barrier built, at mutually agreed borders, and Jeruselum must be free of all weapons and a free city, supported by a multinational security force.  The East should be the capital of Palestine and the West for Israel.  This would be VERY difficult because both sides want it all.  \n\nAll of the Gulf nations, with their 7 star hotels, should throw money and influence to the Palestinian Nation, while the West would continue to support Israel.  \n\nThis is the only way I can see that it will work.

Israel Nukes Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.  Then carpet bomb the West Bank and Gaza.\n\nThat would be about the only way to do it successfully.  But it won't happen

Iran's president said that Israel need to be destroyed so maybe Israel should before he will.\n\nCheck the link for more info..

Only when:\n\n1. The Earth is hit by a meteor and all human life ceases to exist...\n\nOR..\n\n2. See number 1.\n\nPeople say that if Israel were to cease to exist..it would solve all the problems in the middle east...that simply is not true...The infighting and clan rivalries are centuries old...and we all know that Muslim on Muslim violence is perfectly acceptable there....\n\nCartoons drawn by westerners, however..are worth murdering for...

Because Israel is a responsible civilized country.

Being under UN's control wouldn't solve the problem. The Palestinians won't stop until Israel is destroyed and the entire Jewish population is dead or gone somewhere else.

Yes, if you examine their stance on Israel, alone and surrounded by enemies.  Israel has no choice but to aggressively pursue self-defense.  Yet it is a beacon of justice and liberty in the region.  \n\nI think the UN reflects the majority of world governments:  corrupt and hypocritical.

well some countries do help but not enough,and other countries are developing there own countries,and also Israeli army is always destroying roads buildings,house and everything else\nand you have countries that want to suck up to western countries government and put the blame on the Palestinians and do not care except for themselves
