And how long will it be before there's another "scuffle" and there's a mad rush of anti-Palestinian sentiment once again?
About six months or so before US elections.

Let blood be spilt. That is the only way a 'solution' can be arrived at. If the Palestinians and allies destroy Israel, then so be it. If Israel bombs every Palestinian off the face of the earth, along with the Syrians, etc., then so be it. Or, if the battles are so bloody that all involved are horrified, then they may iron out an agreement at the negotiating table.

Someone once said that War is the result of the failure of diplomacy. Diplomacy has failed. Let the dogs of War loose!

I thought I was feeling more evil than usual for the past weeks, with it reaching its peak with my latest post!

Now that 666 is out of the way, I am starting to get a slight feeling of anxiety and doom, which may well increase until I get to post 2012, at which time I shall probably explode.

I'm sure Israel would love the idea of a war as a solution. With their vastly superior military, eliminating virtually unarmed Palestinians would be a cake walk.

Just as much as the Palestinians love blowing up unarmed Isreali citizens on a daily to weekly basis for no justifiable reason at all.

The only solution to the middle east problem is one side totally exterminates the other.

So the only safe place they can build is near/around Jerusalem. If the Palestinians shoot a rocket at a settlement and miss and hit the city of Jerusalem, the Israelis will be the least of their problems. The surrounding Arab Muslims will come in and wipe the Palestinians out since they are not held to the same high standards of international law as Israel is.
So let me get this straight?

Israelis are under threat of Palestinian rockets falling on their houses.

So Israel evicts Palestinians, bulldozes their houses, and builds new houses for Israelis.

The only way Israel can prevent settlements from being targeted is, well, to build even more settlements for the Palestinians to fire rockets at. Got it!

Naturally, the bulldozing of settlements and appropriation of land has nothing to do with Palestinians firing rockets in the first place. They're all just jealous haters. It's in their DNA to hate!

Of course, the Palestinians should be happy about the demolition of their settlements. They should just wipe their chins and walk away.

Hmm...

Let's arrange for me to move into your house and take your belongings. Don't worry, I'll get a foreign government to sanction it, so you really should be okay with it. If you're nice, I might give you 25-30 percent of your stuff back.

By the way, if you attempt to take back your house, I reserve the right to defend myself.

I'm really curious as to how people think the whole Israel-Palestine situation was supposed to go down. Were the Palestinians supposed to welcome that news with open arms? Was it a reason for them to celebrate? Honestly.

I guess the Palestinians should feel the same way the slaves felt about being uprooted from the God-forsaken dark continent called Africa.

Massa dun brought us here to America. Massa dun gave me shoes. Massa dun gave me clothes. Massa gave me da backhouse to live in. Shoot, Massa even gave me a job! Lord knows I woulda been sittin round being lazy in ol' Africa, doin' voodoo and worshippin' the Devil. But thanks to Massa, I stay busy out in dem fields o'er yonder pickin' cotton all day long. Massa give me pork to eat. I got pine floors in my shack. After 10 years or so, I even gets to wear da Massa's clothes. Why do Massa treat me so goooooood? I love my Massa. When my Massa sick, we be sick. I says, "We sick boss!"
