It is pretty hilarious. You'd think one side or the other would think the situation demands more gravitas

I think we should sanction Israel just like we did to Iran, and we should do that until they negotiate some sort of peace deal. The relationship between Israel and Palestine clearly hasn't worked since Israel formed in 1948! It's time for a two country system, and the time is now.

Under no circumstances, is what Israel doing in Gaza and the West Bank is right, you would think the world would of learnt it's lesson from the holocaust, but let the same sort of mistreatment to a group of people occurs now.

America, especially need to wake up and do something about this

It's not just Israel that caused the mess, but they played a part. They also are playing a part in stopping the mess from being cleaned up.

what can be done?

nothing,there will be a war one day

Eh, it's less "Fair Share" more "The US supports Israel."

If the US didn't support Israel... like say this exact situation happened elsewhere, practically no country would support Palestine because they would see it as a legitamization of "seperatists".  It's the same reason countries like... Spain don't recognize Kosovo.

Most of the world supports Palsestine because the United States supports Israel, there is in general a large alliance of countries that vote the opposite of the US  on every measure from Israel to global kitten appreciation day.

Now Europe.  Europe's backing off of Israel is actually a pretty interesting long term political development that began with a strange marriage of the Europeon Leftwing(more radical aprts) and Muslim Immigrants.  The Leftwing pretty much ignoring some of the more problematic issues from the immigration such as woman's rights for the voter support.

MrBubbles; so the holocaust excuses everything Israel does to someone else? That's an old and weak argument.

It's a different case with Palestine actually. They aren't seperatists so much as an occupied people - no state claims that Palestine is a sovereign part of Israel. As such countries that are afraid of the idea of seperatism such as China, Russia or Spain can feel much more comfortable about a Palestinian state.

if not for israel taking those lands there wouldnt even be a chance at a state of palestine.  it would still be jordan and egypt.    its a small minority in israel that think the entire land should be israel.  its a small minority in the territories that dont want the entire land to be palestine.   abbas plays lip service to the idea sometimes and then says things that clearly demonstrate he doesnt it.    the right of return wont happen and the jews will never give back the western wall in east jerusalem, so those demands cannot be on the table of they want any deal with israel.   abbas made recent comments backing off the right of return but they still demand east jerusalem.   how can things even get off the ground with an impossible demand?

The only thing that I see helping long term is Palestine being recognized as a state, and a rise of secularism and multi-culturalism in the region to blurr boundraries and make religious hate fade away.

EDIT: But for that to happen, there needs to be stability.
