He keeps shooting out insults at anyone who suggests Isreal is at fault for anything. He always brings up the anti semitism issue, I probably went over board with my claim, but most of his posts seem like they try to anger the apposing poster.
I noticed CaptainCrunch that you have stated several times that Isreal has had most of their peace offerings thrown back in their face. Obviously Isreal wants peace more than the Palestinians. Isreal would prefer the status quo, where as the Palestinians feel like they are cheated. Peace can succeed in the Middle East and a good example is the peace treaty between Egypt and Isreal.
In order for a peace treaty to work, almost always both sides have to be of equal power. Egypt and Isreal at the time were able to form a treaty because they were both close to equal strength. But now you have one group who is clearly much stronger than other, it makes it harder to form peace. Sometimes the weaker nation doesn't have the capabilities to meet their end of the bargain( ie controlling their extremists).
All that aside, this war needs to be stopped. The destruction of Lebanon isn't going to destroy the terrorists.
