Gaza: The road to war - 11 Jan 09 - Part 2

The people of the Gaza Strip - one of the world's most densely populated strips of land - have experienced it all: military occupation, civil war, an economic blockade and international isolation. Yet back in 2005, Gazans celebrated a new era of peace and even prosperity. So, how did it all go so wrong? Gaza: The road to war investigates.

the way I see it,you both have claims on this land for one reason or another(history,religion,war,p­olitics etc),so you should both compromise in order for a peaceful solution ever to be found!it's the only way...

Comprehensive history. Why can't states of means be generous to others with less? Why is this so unusal?

13 Israeli are killed versus over 1100 of Palestinians. That is not a war, that is butchery.

Israelis are childish. no more.

@juliegrimme "Why can't states of means be generous to others with less?" - classic left song of "gimme! gimme! gimme!" with Arabic flavor added: "...or I will kill u!"

[steveharrismetalgod]

@vcz11 ...always trying to lay the blame on the opposing side doesn't help to end this war-it only prolongs it...don't you see? it's a vicious circle of attack and counterattack/retaliation(isra­eli tanks/helicopters kill palestinians-palestinians fire rockets/blow up themselves in suicide bombings killing israelis and it goes on and on for ever...).somebody has to brake the circle and seize fire...

[steveharrismetalgod]

@vcz11...agreed,but don't Israelis want the exact same thing?(the entire israel for themselves and all palestinians dead?)...man, I'm not taking any sides here,but,the way I see it, in such a long and bloody conflict with lots of losses and biterness/hatred from both sides, it is useless to try and pinpoint one side or another as the single culprit...

[vcz11]

@steveharrismetalgod They got entire Gaza back. Wow, big surprize - they are still unhappy there, firing rockets, do nothing else, eat humanitarian help (from my taxes btw!!!). My impression is that Arabs want ENTIRE Israel to be theirs, and all Jews dead. That is WAY too much to demand, my friend.
