Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Is there a path to peace?

Things look bleak in the Middle East after Binyamin Netanyahu scorned America’s push for an end to the fighting. But in private he’s said to be more flexible. Could diplomacy actually work?

    The movement considers the land of Palestine to be an Islamic stand and a historic homeland for Palestinians with Jerusalem as its capital. The movement adopts the institutional system organizationally, and the consultation adopts decision-making as represented in the Shura Council of the movement. The movement confines its resistance to the Israeli occupation only, and has no battle with any party in the world. It only resists those who fight the Palestinian people and occupy its territory, and resistance at Hamas is a means, not an end.

Stone against might, hand in hand, On this sacred, cherished land, From dawn to dusk, they remain firm, With every chant, their spirits affirm. In the heart of conflict, love remains, Through the struggles, through the pains, For in each echo, hope persists, In the land where resistance exists.

    That's what "recognition of *A* Palestinian state means; if one already existed the phrase would be, "recognition of *THE* Palestinian state." Beyond that, there already *_is_* a Palestinian state -- Israel. Palestine is a *_place,_* not a *_race;_* in similar fashion to Los Angeles being a place but "Angelino" not being a race, it is somebody from Los Angeles no matter their ethnicity. There are Arab Palestinians and there are Jewish Palestinians; there are also Druze, Circassians, Armenians, Christians of a number of different denominations, and a smattering of other races and nationalities. Zuheir Mohsen -- a Palestinian leader between 1971 and 1979 -- in a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw: “Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of ONE people, the Arab nation. Look, I have family members with Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian citizenship. We are ONE people. Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.

    After this war (which I hope will end quickly) a few things must happen: Hamas can no longer rule Gaza, their reckless "operations" put their people at risk time and time again. The current israeli goverment must resign. It never tried to search for a long-term solution to this conflict and failed to protect their people as well. The Palestinian authority must recognize Israel as a country and (sorry for the reguritated term) condemn Hamas and its actions. If they want to govern Gaza they need to prevent agression on their behalf Those three things will lead to a fertile land for a long term solution.

In addition, unblemished Red Heifers have been delivered to Israel, which is very rare. Its ashes need to be placed to build the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem. To sum up, Benjamin Netanyahu sees himself as the Messiah's helper and he is fulfilling divine prophecy.

    If the bible is historically accurate, then everybody is just squatting. The region historically known as Palestine has been inhabited by various peoples throughout history, including Canaanites, Philistines, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans, and more. The Israelites, led by Joshua, are said to have conquered the land of Canaan around the 13th century BCE, according to the biblical narrative. So, there were inhabitants in the region before the Israelites arrived.
