will the isreali/palestine conflict ever be solved by years end and what the new kadima party plans to do,?

No resolution by year end.  Kadima will move forward and draw the Israeli border if Hamas does not start negotiating with Israel on the border issue.

oh please. I'm so tired of "Israel defending herself" as opposed to "Palestine defending herself." They've been fighting for decades! They'll be fighting for decades to come. Israel claims they were given the "Promised Land" which just so happens to be land that the Palestinians inhabit. I'm tired of all of this Promised Land" nonsense just as I am tired of hearing about the so-called "Chosen People"..ALL of God's children are Chosen. All of them. Not just Jews! How do we know the land was promised anyway? Were there other "promises" made AFTER this so-called promise? I just read an article which said that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. The same article said that 6 million OR MORE other people were killed also (other "undesirables, who WERE NOT Jewish!)\nyet we never hear about them. I used to feel a lot of sympathy for Jews. Now I don't. They are NOT the only people who have undergone horrors! \nAnd they are not a democracy. \nThey don't know who they are.

If the Arabs put down their weapons, there will be peace.\n(If Israel puts down its weapons there will be no more Israel...)

Historically or Biblically? This area has been occupied more the a Greyhound bus terminal toilet. If you mean during the last 100 years, Isreal was created by land taken from Arab farmers. When Palestine was still a British protectorate, Jewish terrorists organized groups to blow up train tracks, power stations and government installations(sound familiar) When the state of Isreal was declared, paniced Arab farmers fled the region and Jewish settlers took over their lands. These farmers settled in Syrian, Lebanese and Jordanian refugee camps which became known as the Palistinian problem. More land was taken over after a series of almost comical wars(where the US military supplied and backed the state of Isreal defeated all Arab states) occupied those lands run over during the wars and did not attempt to give them back until recently. What caused this? Collective world guilt over the Holocaust, the common belief at the time that the general Arab population of that area were just ignorant and itinerant farmers that had no real right to the land, a Zionistic , and sometimes hysterical approach of Jewish settlers in the 60's and 70's along with the generally unsupportable stance of many successive US governemnts has led to the intolerable situation that we see today. The Gov. of Isreal, the US Gov. The UN, the British as well as the intransigient position of the Arab world where Isreal is concerned has led to this mess. The world should back off and let those in the area determine their future.

Excellent question. It should move and I think the best place is Israel. It is the main focal point on most all international issues and I do believe it would solve or at least get a handle on many of today's problems.

It doesn't matter either way. The bottom line is regardless of any good will or good faith gestures on the part of Israel, the Arab world will still want Israel annihlated. All rational people know that, hence there will never be peace. Sorry for the negative analysis, it's just the way I see it.

I think this will be the best solution for the Middle East.\n\nThe Jews can all migrate to US as even at present more Jews are living there than those living in Israel.

Since the beginning of mankind, there's never been true peace in the Middle East. I can't see a way of it ever happening in the future.

i support zionism.  everybody deserves a home, but where can the jewish people go?  now they have Isreal, so they should keep it.  but that land was arab land, taken from other people.  who has the right to decide who gets what land? well, mabey superpowers :).  i am truely happy for the jewish people that they finally got a place to call home after thousands of years of hardship and opression.  i hope Isreal lives a long and prosperous life as on of the only civilized countries in the Middle East region.

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.

They will be in a better position to bargain whether they use it or not. It would be pretty stupid to blow up Isreal and stupid people are not planning this.

That would be great.  However, Hamas is a terrorist group, not likely to honour any peace treaties.  The situation is so sad.  Progress was looking like a possibility, but the election of Hamas has set peace back.  For how long?  And leading to how much death?

B"H\nDemocracy isn't a cure-all.  When a group of people vote for a government that supports suicide bombing to try to wipe out a particular race, and has as part of its statutes the refusal of any compromise and the insistance on a violent end to another people, the country needs to be held responsible (no more treating terrorists as "renegades" - action should now be taken against the nation itself instead of just chasing after individual murderers).\n\nIt is contrary to international law to advocate war.  The Palistinean governement includes in its charter the following:\n\n"[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement."\n\n"There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad."  The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility."\n\nWhat defines a terrorist is not a subjective matter.  There are clear outlines for this under UN guidelines.  The government of Hamas will not stop killing until (GD forbid) they have wiped out every Jew.  \n\nTheir goal is NOT peace; their goal is NOT religious freedom; their goal is GENOCIDE.\n\nTheir government sanctioned terrorist actions must be recognized as an act of war and treated as such.

Israel is without a doubt, the fruit of Jewish Fundamentalism, it was created in 1948 because some Extremist Jews (A.K.A. Zionists) who used terrorism againt the Indginous People, the Palestinians, were rewarded for thier terrorism and for thier belonging to the "holocost people" with a state of thier own by the United Nations in a resolution that divided Palestine up without precident in 1948 when the British could not maintain thier occupation any more. \n\nIt's simple. Iraq invaded Kuwait, it got its ass kicked and still is suffering the consequences of that dumbass move, Israel must withdraw from Palestine, it's realy the same story no matter how you spin it.\n\nP.S. Iraq used to claim that Kuwait was part of "Historical Iraq" just like the Israelis claim that they lived there 3000 years ago. \n\nMy friend, Israel IS the problem, Israel MUST conform to "HUMAN NORMS".\n\nThere is just no other solution. The Middle East would be peaceful without Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.\n\nIt's realy as simple as that, remove Jewish extremism, and you'll find the cure.\n\nCheck this website out, it's AWESOME!

Moot question.... *NO* Arab country has *ever* made such an offer. In fact they have *repeatedly* rejected resettlement of *any* of the Palestinians.  Nor is it likely at all that such an offer *ever* will be made. If it were possible I'm sure the Jews would *gladly* pay for the Palestinians to go. Wouldn't you pay to keep your children safe from idiots?
