What? Gaza and the West Bank?
Gaza has always been inhabited by gentiles, and the West Bank has been home to Palestinians for hundreds of years.
Fair enough?
Hello Terry..... :)
Right or wrong, yours is the first direct answer. Although the border force would have a high cost, it would be a pittance compared with what's being spent these days, and the benefits to humanity all round could be huge.
Come to Christ moment?
Do you want to tell Islam to 'come to Christ'?
Whenever I hear talk of Christ I think of the Church dogma that spun 'Christ' out of the living person of Jesus....two quite different beings altogether.
And would you tell all Israel to come to Christ?
I mean, if you're...
Extremists who turn to destruction or violence are totally dangerous whoever they are.
So, yes, we must recognise all such problems wherever they are.
I just hope that some very very good diplomats can surface from all sides of this tragedy and bring about a peace, however grudging a one.
Fast solution?
Tell me, Godobeyer, how long do you think that Israel would survive if all it's western allies would remove their support from it?
Would that be your fast solution?
And if that was to happen, what would you suggest should happen to all Israeli people?
WW2 ended, and the...
About 20 years ago, wandering through the streets of Belfast I saw this street Mural amongst others. It showed how Catholics thought about their situation as being similar to the people of Gaza. The Catholics had formed 'military' style units to protect their streets and estates from Protestant...
Thank you for that.
Like Christianity, Islam is an evangelising religion, and 'yes', both these have taken control of so many parts of the World.
The Middle East was the birth place of Islam, hundreds of years ago. I don't know how Islam and Judaism became to be so much at odds, but today we...
Can you tell me about this.....
What Muslims are trying to take control of what countries?
I can't understand the concept of a colonialist Muslim. We have many Muslims where I live but they are a part of our community, is that what you mean by 'colonialist'?
Surely, that would be wonderful.
I knew a bit about the hatreds in N.Ireland, and very few of the people felt much inclined towards any kind of understanding or love towards the others. The history of wrongs and terrors spread back for hundreds of years, and yet there is a kind of peace over...
You didn't include Iran's interest in your post....... but how to eliminate deep religious and political hatred between enemies like these does indeed look like the unanswerable question.
That's how we British and Irish viewed the troubles in Northern Ireland, and it seemed to me that one of...
I only hope that Israel's neighbouring countries might do their best to reduce terrorist activities against Israel, together with your suggestion for your people.
Israel's next general election is two years away, I notice, but I've always heard that Israel's government is built by coalition...
Excuse me for reducing your post size, but it looks to me as if the kernel of your idea lies in the above......
That's not so far from Wandering Monk's suggestion.
That there is some kind of peace in Northern Ireland today is the closest example of a possible resolution for Israel/Palestine...
If only miracles could be real, EH....eh?
Much of Islam seems to be stubbornly determined towards hatred, and the Israeli government isn't helping at all, methinks.
I must look to see when the next Israeli election is.
Thanks, Wandering Monk.
What a good point.... I used to visit Northern Ireland 30 years ago and at that time I never believed that there could ever be any chance of any kind of peace.
I once asked a bunch of N.I. cops if it may help if Protestant kids might all be taught N.Irish Gaelic so that...
Nearly everybody here hopes that all innocent civilians in Israel, Lebanon and Gaza may be supported, protected, in safety, rehomed and given food, water and medical supplies.
Each side hates the other fiercely.
So can anybody here offer any suggestions for ending these dreadful conflicts...
