What would it take to create peace between Israel and Palestine ?

Removal of anything political or religious from the two groups - they are so similar but so different they (being human) will never see eye to eye unless they put their differences aside and consider their similarities although they would say they have no similarities.\n\nUnfortuantely, human's don't tend to work like that as groups.  The "mob mind" works on a very basic level and has a pack mentality - very patriotic / xenophobic / nationalistic.  Humans in a group tend to split into "tribes" and tend towards wanting to destroy anything "different" - it could be nationality, colour, religion, politics, the clothes you wear, the wrong colour hair - anything that doesn't "fit" (watch children in a playground to see it in its basic form).\n\nIt's only individuals who can change things but that takes a great deal of bravery and a change in mindset.  The catholics and protestants of Ireland are a bit like that - many get on very well with each other - some even in mixed marriages - but if you get a pack of either lot together, the mob mind takes over and the differences are exacerbated.\n\nFor the good of the world in general, I hope the world starts to ignore its differences and welcome the similarities.  Anyone prepared to work for the betterment of themselves, others and the planet deserves respect no matter what colour, creed or religion.

Sorry to say it won't happen.Unless the US stops supporting Israel. Maybe Palestine should get another country to sponsor its terrorism like we do with Israel. \n First off they need better weapons, rocks against tanks just doesnt cut it. Maybe Iran or Syria, who knows maybe the US will see Israel as a liability one day and decide to fund Palestine in the hopes they will destroy Israel.\nEDIT: I didnt mean to be rude Im sorry. Are you from Palestine?\n Destroy Israel and you will have peace. The Arab countries dont trust Israel, work together to destroy them and you can end the occupation.

Palestine is the one who signs the peace treaty then fires a crappy rocket into Israel because you cant police Palestine. then Israel comes with their high tech war jets and destroys you, i think that's why you re upset because you cant win against Israel and resort to cheap gorilla tactics against citizens

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.

Every person of any nationality has a right to live in peace. By simply stating Israel stole Palestinian land and using that as an excuse to fire unguided missiles or blow themselves up with the intent to murder indiscriminately is wrong. To not want Israel to live anywhere in the world is the goal of certain Palestinian groups. In fact, that is overwhelmingly the viewpoint. Only a few months ago Palestinians stated that peace could be obtained by Israel leaving Gaza. Now as you can see, there is no chance of that happening. If I were Israeli, I would build huge walls and not allow any Palestinians work visas. There is no chance of peace ever.

At the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a dispute over land and borders. \nIt started in 1948 when Israel was created,by a UN resolution,in Palestine,which at that time was under a British mandate.The Arab countries around didn't accept the decision and the next day they attacked the new created state.Israel won this war.In 1967 Israel attacked Syria,Egypt and Jordan in a pre-emptive war.They occupied and annexed to Israel Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank of the Jordan River (including East Jerusalem), and the Golan Heights.Millions of Palestinians ended up living in UN's refugees camp in Lebanon \nThere are 3 UN resolution that ask Israel to end the occupation on the Palestinians territories and the other territories that they occupied in 1967 ,but the Israelis refuse to do it...\nSince then Palestinians are living under Israeli occupation and they are refused even the elementary rights any human should have... And there are millions of Palestinians living in UN's refugees camps...Israel refuses to let those people come back to their lands...

How can we make peace permanent instead of a space between wars?

Following World War II, the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine, and the UN partitioned the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Subsequently, the Israelis defeated the Arabs in a series of wars without ending the deep tensions between the two sides. The territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war are not included in the Israel country profile, unless otherwise noted. On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Israel and Palestinian officials signed on 13 September 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo Accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. In addition, on 25 May 2000, Israel withdrew unilaterally from southern Lebanon, which it had occupied since 1982. In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement. In April 2003, US President BUSH, working in conjunction with the EU, UN, and Russia - the "Quartet" - took the lead in laying out a roadmap to a final settlement of the conflict by 2005, based on reciprocal steps by the two parties leading to two states, Israel and a democratic Palestine. However, progress toward a permanent status agreement was undermined by Palestinian-Israeli violence between September 2000 and February 2005. An agreement reached at Sharm al-Sheikh in February 2005 significantly reduced the violence. The election in January 2005 of Mahmud ABBAS as the new Palestinian leader following the November 2004 death of Yasir ARAFAT, the formation of a Likud-Labor-United Torah Judaism coalition government in January 2005, and the successful Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip (August-September 2005), presented an opportunity for a renewed peace effort. However, internal Israeli political events between October and December 2005 have destabilized the political situation and forced early elections, scheduled for March 2006.\n\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/is.html\n\nhttp://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/\n\n\nQuote from Charles Krauthammer - The Weekly Standard, May 11, 1998\n\n"Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago. You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store."\n\nThe people of Israel (also called the "Jewish People") trace their origin to Abraham, who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe (see Old Testament). Abraham, his son Yitshak (Isaac), and grandson Jacob (Israel), are referred to as the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later came to be known as the Land of Israel. They and their wives are buried in the Ma'arat HaMachpela, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, in Hebron.\n\nThe name Israel derives from the name given to Jacob (see Old Testament). His 12 sons were the kernels of 12 tribes that later developed into the Jewish nation. The name Jew derives from Yehuda (Judah) one of the 12 sons of Jacob. So, the names Israel, Israeli or Jewish refer to people of the same origin.\n\nThe descendants of Abraham crystallized into a nation at about 1300 BCE after their Exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses (Moshe in Hebrew). Soon after the Exodus, Moses transmitted to the people of this new emerging nation, the Torah, and the Ten Commandments. After 40 years in the Sinai desert, Moses led them to

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.

A. Bomb first, ask questions later\nB. The proof is in the pudding, what have we accomplished?\nC. Lots, it's a strategic ally with great harbors and a good pit stop to the middle east if needed. Also as the holy land it does hold a certain soft spot in the hearts of Americans. As much as Palestinians hate both Americans and Isrealis do you think the place would remain sacred and UNTOUCHED?

There's no peaceful ways in solving the Zoinists-Palestine conflict. The Jewish PM Olmert is coming here in US this Sunday to discuss his unilateral moves in order to draw 'the final border'. They even going to expand W. Bank settlments. \n\nhttp://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1145961384054&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull\n\nThere will be more blood and war between the Arabs and the Jewish. As much as you love your country, it's best if you leave and migrate to somewhere else. You said that you're a Christian. What you can do is move to Bethlehem. The area is governed by a Christian mayor. That's the best. I'll pray for your country.

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.

The whole situation in the middle east is so complicated. I do not even know where to start. The worst thing they could do was to try and start a war with Israel. Not very smart. Hopefully they can rebuild their country and try to live a peaceful life. I hope they do along with everyone else in the middle east.

It would be an excellent idea, but it would require cooperative efforts from all parties concerned.\n   The various religious differences over the past 1400 years have prevented much cooperation.  It appears that the only uniting force within the Muslim community is its hatred for Isreal.  Other than that it is like the drifting desert sands.

There would be peace in the middle east and the whole world
