This conflict is sort of like an alcoholic, even though its a disease, the alcoholic won't make any strides to get better until the people around them stop enabling them. In this thread alone, I've seen people make justifications for firing rockets, building settlements and all sorts of actions that they would never condone in their real lives. Stop making excuses for this century old conflict, its gone on way too long.

My argument remains the same:
Justifications for firing rockets into civilions is not the same as justifications for building settlements. There is no equivocation.
Only one side of this conflict continually chooses a violent and military course of provocation.
Once Hamas decides to stop firing rockets, totally and finally, they would easily win over the entire worlds perception and probably achieve nearly all their goals in a negotiated settlement.
But for whatever reason... blind hatred, religous zeal, provocation from other arab nations... they refuse to stop violent attacks.
And so we go on in a circle, again.
