My point is that your statement that I found no fault with Israel at all is factually incorrect.

Anyway, I'm sure many Palestinians wish for it to end.  However, the hate within the community has always been too strong to ensure Israel's safety.  It's not just the government causing the violence.

I hope and believe that most people in Israel and Palestine are sick and tired to the evergoing conflict and they want it to end and want peace. But with such long history the revenge-mentality is strong on both sides and those in power (both sides) will ensure that the conflict will continue, as it will keep them in power and they will use it as fuel, destroying any attemps on restoring peace.

With Israel and Palestine it seem to be a David and Goliath situation (without an end), with israel being the Goliath, thats one of the reasons why Israel is seen as the worse of the two. That´s also why I think that they have more power on desiding whether the conflict goes on or ends. With USA defending Israel, it lets Israel to do things that no civiliced country should do, and thats one of the problems and reasons why Israel doesn´t even want peace.

What exactly does Israel gain from keeping the conflict going?  How do you recommend they end the conflict?
