Either way, the law is clear in the fact that Israel has no legitimate claim to the occupied territories. So even if you don’t think the Palestinians are the original inhabitants it doesn’t change the fact that Israel shouldn’t be in the West Bank.
…… and yet Mr B , there they are – and there they stay. Anyway if they left the West Bank, it would then provide another base from which the Hamas terrorists could launch even more Quassam rockets at them.
Of course Hamas would have to claim that they were provoked into killing women and babies, but then they are pretty experienced at using this justification for terrorist murder already.
So they are building settlements to stop terrorist attacks? Yeah right! As long as Israel is on palestinian land killing and persecuting palestinian civilians then they should stop with all the whining on tv about being attacked. How can it be acceptable for Israel to murder palestinian women and children? Murder is murder and the killing of civilians by either side is unacceptable. I know you have trouble with this concept PB because you think Israel is as pure as the driven snow.
Israel is the biggest destabilizing element in that region and the sooner it leaves the occupied territories the better it will be for everyone. I have no sympathy for the settlers, they need build their Israeli settlements inside Israel not on their neighbour’s land.
I started this thread over a month ago and I predicted back then that if the international community didn’t take immediate action then events could spiral out of control (as usual). I also predicted that the world wouldn’t act until things got really bad. Despite people telling me I was wrong, everything I said has come true.
There is now the danger of the conflict in Lebanon escalating and as that happens there is the very real threat of Syria being drawn into this conflict. Beyond that, these events and the sabre-rattling by Israel in their direction will probably only further convince Iran that they need to get nuclear weapons.
So despite President Bush telling us that the key to mideast stability was through establishing democracy in Iraq, we’ve seen that once again the arab-israeli conflict is the most destabilizing factor in the region.

It must be so nice to be right about everything
I think the time has come to leave Israel and the middle east to battle this out for themselves with no support from outsiders – including the massive amount of money that Israel gets from America.
I was in Israel in the 1980s and in the Jewish areas it was like another american state. Lets see how they get on without political or monetary support.
As with other countries in history, they will either fight themselves to a standstill or swallow each other up – let them get on with it now. We must not get involved or it could escalate into an even more serious problem. There is no solution for the middle east which can be sorted from outside the area.
