I agree with you in that the country needs to go secular, but also the name of the country needs to be changed to something like, say, "Republic of Canaan", its old name. A two state solution IMO will never work. As far as I go, I'm only opposed to the government/state itself, not the Jews. Really, I would LOVE to see the issue solved with no violence or with one side getting the longer end of the stick...but I sense dark days are ahead...maybe in like a few years or so. And yeah, I heard about the Eilat attack and the following death of the 3 Egyptian police. Caused a huge uproar in Egypt. It's already difficult enough when the Egyptians already have so much on their hands and the Israelis are facing their own protests.
Speaking of Eilat: While I was in Jordan this Summer, I could see it from Aqaba when we went on the yacht ride. Looks nice, even though it was from a distance. |
I don't see how you can get the issues solved without any violence. Hell, you can't even get stagnation without any violence.
Honestly, I'd say Israel is actually pretty restrained compaired to how most countries would act if they were having rockets shot into their country on a daily basis.
Think how most countries would act to that. Most countries would go in there constantly with armies far more then Israel does and haul anyone remotely suspected of being in connection with the groups firing rockets and then probably deport them. Including the most liberal of europeon countries.
Espiecally with the number of children with PTSD.
Palestine should take a lesson from the Irish... build what's left of your nation into a respectable nation with it's own economy and army... and then have terrorists.
Right now the Palestinians are being stubborn and foolish... in a situation in which they have almost no barganing power.
