CLEARLY the violence needs to stop before anything will be accomplished. I was under the impression that went without saying. It's not exactly 'life as usual' in either Israel or Gaza. Once this confict is resolved, hopefully without much more bloodshed, something is obviously going to have to change and I think that discontinuing with the building of settlements on annexed land is a good place to start.

Of course, we know that in the past Israel has stopped building settlements as a gesture of goodwill but that has never stopped Hamas from firing rockets at civilians.
Israel has also recently offered to stop building settlements if the Palestinians would agree to recognize Israel as a legitimate state. But they refuse and continue to fire rockets.
It doesn't seem that building settlements has any effect on the peace process, whatsoever.
So, the ONLY logicial place to start is to demand an end to the firing of rockets upon civilians, unequivocally.
