I'd like to hope that genocide isn't a solution to pretty much any problem, I thought we could take that as a baseline but apparently not.TakingArms wrote:QUOTE (TakingArms @ Nov 16 2012, 01:38 AM) The best way to solve this problem is to let one set of @#$%@#s kill the other set.
Anyway, it'd be much better if nobody was shooting anyone else. I think we can agree on that too.
Israel have tried taking a hard line with Hamas in Gaza and it clearly doesn't work because Hamas are still firing rockets into Israel. Negotiation is the way forward, see Northern Ireland for proof that it can work, and frankly I see the Israeli government as being more persuadable to stop hostilities and open negotiations than I do Hamas.
If Israel want to be the good guys then they need to stop retaliating and start a process that will help remove Hamas from power, improve life in Gaza and on the border and hopefully start to stabilise the whole region.
At the moment it's just a semi-genocidal waiting game until Iran nukes Jerusalem followed by Israel nuking Tehran.
