What can be done with Isreal? Realistically!

Okay, i've culled a few folks in this thread

And with that, let me say that while this thread does not merit closure (as this is a legitimate topic, and most of the folks here are being reasonable), some of y'all really need to stop saying offensive stuff.

I have a low tolerance for some of the BS the Israelis pull, but i do understand that they feel threatened. At the same time, one has to understand the ineffectual and corrupt nature of the "legitimate" Palestinian party, Fatah, and that Hamas, while murderous and violent, are also likely the more honest of the two. Radical Islam should be condemned, but one must understand where this sort of thing is coming from. Terrorism isn't so much about ideology as it is about desperation; people in a desperate condition will latch onto an ideology that gives them an outlet. In America and Europe in the late 19th century, it was Anarchism. In the early 20th century, Bolshevik Socialism or Fascism, mid 20th century, Communism.

I'm highlighting this post, because I think its one of the best in the thread :)

Personally, I really have no idea what can be done with Isreal, they act very bullish politically, but they kind of have to in a response to the number of hostile neighbours surrounding them. I understand their situation, its merely when they use weapons of war which are banned by the UN, I then disagree with them. As a European, to win me over, they need to have the morale high ground, but right now, both sides are as bad as each other.
