Palestinians do agree to the road map, the leadership CANNOT act against terror as the people of palestine support the organisations, as their security forces are in ruins due to israeli attacks and as the head of palestine is under house arrest . Many people dont want Israel to exist - I dont want Israel to exist but I think we all accept the fact that it has to exist -

hamas and arafat dont. their 'security forces', which ones would they be?
there is no other solution and hamas and arafat both know that and both HAVE SAID THAT IF ISRAEL PULLS BACK TO PRE 1967 BORDERS THERE WILL BE PEACE. ITS THAT SIMPLE.
And no Suicide bombers didnt interrupt the adoption of the peace plan - all the organisations had a ceasefire and israel continued targeting militants
glad to see u know ur stuff.
errrr .. yeah .. thats nice ... what, got nothing better to say ?
errrr .. yeah .. thats nice ... what, got nothing better to say ?
Yeah you can have a reference, [url], its common fact that that is true. Anyway, yes the PA did agree to start arresting militants and they did .. all was well for a while
they did nothing. and a quote from a very brief Guardian summary of the conflict, come on. its hardly conclusive to the argument.
but then israel continued killing militants, someone blew himself up, the al aqsa martyrs brigade said that it was a renegade faction and offered an official apology but ... too late, israelis retaliated.
The current Palestinian PM also wants peace, also wants to stop terrorism but has said he cant stop it by force and is trying to negotiate. But is getting no support from Israel (definite assurances by them and therefore bargaining chips )
LOL commitment to the defence of its people .. yeah right ... Their guarantee of defence to its people is to pull back to pre 1967 borders. Checkpoints are IN THE MIDDLE OF PALESTINIAN CONTROLLED TERRITORY as are settlements,
if you can perceive the practical difficulties in withdrawing people and erecting a border control without consistent protection this should answer ur question.
Kofi Annan has also called the Israeli settlements illegal.
And Im surprised YOU have the nerve to post without recognizing the concrete concerns of the Palestinian people - The Israelis are concerned with their safety so - pull back goddamnit and they will ahve safety - all the terrorist organisations have said they will not attack if israel pulls back.

[QUOTE
What do you mean by what timeframe - ever since they are in palestine they've been building settlements.
[/QUOTE]
i mean during the ceasefire, which is what you were alluding to. i was interested to know how ISrael could build new settlements in 7 weeks.
*shakes head*, who are you kidding? only yourself.
im not kidding anyone actually, he did get the nobel peace prize

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA THAT just cracks me up .
You think he shares his money with hamas etc? Id like proof (reference) to that please [/b]

his criticisms of Israel and peace efforts are relatively unparalled among former US heads of state.
The IMF report "Economic Performance and Reforms under Conflict Conditions," released last September in Abu Dhabi, was based on the same PA documents that the Israeli government had earlier provided to Patten and the European Parliament. The report concludes that at least 8 percent ($135 million) of the PA's annual budget of $1.08 billion is being spent by Arafat at his sole discretion — and does not even take into account Arafat's control of 60 percent of the security-apparatus budget, which leaves him with at least $360 million per year to spend as he chooses. In addition, the report states that $900 million in PA revenues "disappeared" between 1995 and 2000, and that the 2003 budget for Arafat's office, which totaled $74 million, was missing $34 million that Arafat had transferred to pay unidentified "organizations" and "individuals."
i twas still full of palestinians and palestinians did have a word in controlling it - when british left india it became india not .. some other random country .. what are you trying to say here ?

I don't know really. I would assume Palestine is developed, but I wouldn't know.

Perhaps the more developed country should lead the way to peace. I guess it's trying to right now from what you've been saying.

Richer than most arab states that aren't oil-rich. Still, the Zionist's right to be there is far more significant than the Palestinian's.

I agree very much. Sort out the Israeli's and save the Palestinian's. Simple. The catch is its never going to happen.

Yes I agree too - we really should just work for peace, but you have to understand what happened in order to understand the issue - though I dont think that history so long ago can be used as an argument that the land should go to israel.

But it's still valid, unless you're going to also dismiss your argument for Palestine deserving the land.
Get peace. Negotiate.

Youll have to thank the Bus bombers for that.
Ummm .. I dont think the bus bombers have anything to do with my dad getting interrogated and treated like a criminal - its not a justification.

mobile phones are used to detonate bombs.
lol yeah and .... that doesnt give them the right to confiscate our mobile phones, we are entering palestine, gaza city not israel . Do you get your phone confiscated at Dover or wherever ?!

There are many arab Israelis and they enjoy everything in Israel almost as much as the jews.
They do .. and ?
They do .. and ?
I agree that no one can afford to be extremely one sided, I think both sides have some fault in the conflict but I think that Israel is definately more to blame, especially as its is the occupying force and it is the more powerful of the two. Bombers cant be "encouraged" they just do it because they feel that they have to ..
so if they have to, perhaps you can explain all of the videotapes pumped out by the martyrs and the posters that Arafat has put up throughout Palestine celebrating their acts.

something like 15 states out of 140 in the world supported the US, most of them to get financial support . That is not a majority. The US cannot attack a country because they have WMDs - which they didnt - they attacked as iraq is oil rich, second in the world. Anyway, this thread is about Israel - palestine so lets keep it to that

HWR points out an unfortunate reality. terrorists happily using civilians as cover. the IDF do remarkably well to limit the number of innocent casualties. talking of which HWR are remarkably biased, but since weve already read everthing from the Guardian office, why stop there.
