So how many professors of middle eastern history and politics do we have on the forum then?![]()
And can we stop calling the Palestinian fighters "cowards" please. I think that anyone who fights the armed might if Israel with a few rockets and mortars whilst under the glare of laser guided bomb dropping from an F16 is a braver man than most of us.
The history of this conflict is tortuous in the extreme, I do wonder however, how a people who have had such horror visited upon them in the past, can be so willing to visit the same horrors on others today.

I know this conflict can be traced back a long way, and many countries (including the UK) has contributed to it in one way or another, BUT:
Both countries have a choice.
Either country can choose to stop firing.
Either country can choose to put the future over short term 'victory' or heaven forbid, revenge.
The argument "he hit me first" belongs in the playground.
The argument "You force me to hurt you" belongs in a bad James Bond movie.
Seeking the cause or origin of this conflict, laying blame is clearly going nowhere.
Perhaps what is needed is some courage on both sides.
Not the courage to kill, but the courage to talk, to listen and to change.
I am not qualified to comment on fault, responsibility etc, but I believe it is time to change direction.

You are right Storm. I guess i'm just talking/thinking from the comfort of not living there and being in some way religeously or ethnically attached wondering why that piece of shitty land is that important.
Me? If I had my way i'd find a piece of land somewhere and say roll a dice lowest score moves to it.I only wish someone did because it all frightens the living crap out of me.

I also used the term " cowards ". The reason? Hamas fire rockets from civilian areas, where they KNOW Israel will not fire back into. If that is not cowardice, then I do not know what is.
What really angered me today though was when I heard that the USA and the Uk, had ordered a ceasefire. Who the fuck are they to order anything? Are these two countries not just as guilty as Israel?
The USA has been a war monger for decades, and are currently occupying Iraq and Afganistan. So for them to order anyone to do anything, is double standard hypocrisy at it's worst.

Quote by Chris-1977
The tactic of firing rockets from built up, populated areas is a tactic that is used all the time in Iraq by insurgents. Why? Simple. If the insurgents where to fight face to face using conventional tactics then they would lose hands down. So they resort to these rocket attacks and road side bombings because they have a reasonable succes rate with little risk to themselves.
