One thing that no-one has mentioned is that until this incident, Egypt also had an embargo on Gaza. It's not just the Israelis who want Hamas kept under control - Egypt has fought a long battle against its own Islamic militants and the last thing it wants is an aggressively fundamentalist statelet on its border.
There is only one way this conflict we come to an end, and that is when both sides sit around a table and start to talk, will this ever happen, I am not sure.
i read this twice and still no the wiser as to who is the rightfull owner of the land
And Israel are in a better position to change things or even be magnanimous .....as I said entrenched
That's all very well Brucie but we weren't asked about most of the things covered above,my responses were to questions/points about the relationship between Israel and Palestine.
I agree with the point of the article there is a lack of protest about many of the things she points out,there is a concentration on the conflict between Israel and Palestine in the press...but Israel makes it so sexy all those commandos and raids, what do you expect the press to do?
I hope not Kaz ...the very thought sends a shiver down my spine :scared:
