All that would be needed to stop the killing is for the Palestinians to agree to quit shooting rockets, attacking Israel, and to stop importing arms. The solution is simple, but it won't happen.
Are you kidding me? Ok, so Palistinians are suppose to sit back and slowly die from lack of food and supplies, which Israel prevents from getting to them? I wouldn't and I doubt anyone else would either.
From everything I've seen, it looks like the Israel government are the only ones over there who would agree with you. Their own people are ashamed of their government, so since they don't support their own government, it's a good thing they have you here defending them.
Do you know what it's like to have starving children? Neither do I and you can bet your bottom dollar that if my child was starving due to the cruelty of my neighbour, I'd fight to the bitter end to feed my child!
On the same note, it's their government who is sending their kiddie bombs into Israel, not civilians, yet it's the innocent who get to pay the price for the governments war games.
You cut off the food supply to my family and you'll see what I'd do! I'd make the people in Gaza look like saints! I wouldn't be sitting back waiting for my useless government to carry the burren, like in Gaza. I'd be fighting with everything I had. After all, in a situation such as this one, I'd have nothing to lose. You sit back and do nothing, you die. You fight, you die. So you can either die slowly of starvation sitting back and hoping for the best or you can die quickly fighting for your right to live. I'd fight!
The only solution I see is to rid of both governments and put in 2 neutral parties.
