That's your theory. Mine's what I told you. Neither of us are in the minds of the decision makers of Palestine and Israel. I just want it to end either way.

 .     Ignore this line. Vgchartz gone insane. Weird coding faultgn

Are you kidding me? Palestinians have marched for peace and they have been trampled upon by israel. I'm not talking about the decision makers but the normal people of Palestine have begged, pleaded and asked for peace ever since this debacle started. You clearly don't know anything about Palestinians and have only listened to the Israeli side of things. You're unwillingness to admit that israelis have done even one thing wrong and Palestinians have done even one thing right  shows your bias. There's no point in arguing with someone who is essentially a fanboy of Israel

You do realize Palestine has a population of millions. And how many of them are fighting? And how many of them are just trying to live their lives? And how many of them are advocating for peace? I said the people of Palestine, not the ones in power want peace which can be true whether the leadership doesn't want peace or whether the leadership wants peace. Just as I don't blame the ordinary Israelis for their government's vile action, I also don't blame the palestinians for what their government does.It's like you're trying to ignore the nuances of language i am speaking. Also you have been constantly attacking Palestine and blaming everything on Palestine. So no need to re-read your post. That's all you say so what's your point?

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?

Is it though? You're saying Israel tries it's best but there are oopsie moments. That's what I mean by fault. As in premeditated, preconceived to cause damage and hurt to Palestine. I haven't seen you say that anywhere. You can say it now though. Just one thing that Israel DELIBERATELY did wrong. You have a lot of options like killing children, beating and assaulting children while cursing and laughing, killing journalists, killing innocents and innocent bystanders, building that freakish containment wall that basically makes Palestine like a camp etc etc etc. Just say one thing right now.

There could be multiple reasons and some have been already stated here. Why would the Palestinians want to keep the conflict going? For both one of the reasons is the revenge-mentality, they have to revenge all the wrong that has been done against them.

I have yet to see a valid reason presented.

As for the Palestinians there actually are lots of reasons.  The first and most obvious is the land.  It is their stated goal to force Israel to return to pre 1967 borders.  They can at least in theory accomplish this.  Israel does not want the land in Gaza, or rather cannot feasibly take it while remaining a Jewish democracy.

There is also the political pressure that gets put on Israel in the aftermath of these attacks.  Palestine cannot physically conquer Israel, the only path is through international pressure on Israel.  Their current strategy does help meet that goal.

The third is religious.  Israel, despite its Jewish cultural identity, is largely a secular society.  Hamas however is a fundamentalist organization that adheres to an (in their mind) literal interpretation of Quran.  Their explicit goal is to spread Islam, and this is often more important to them than the security of their citizen.

Fourth, there is currently a blockade on Gaza instituted by Egypt and Israel.  This blockade was instituted in response to Hamas' refusal to renounce violence (which also led to them forfeiting international aid for their people).  

So those are the reasons that it is beneficial to Hamas to keep the conflict going. Mainly because Israel has something they want.  Israel already has it, so attacking or prolonging the conflict does nothing except cost them money and worsen their international position.  

See. You can't do it. You skipped the part where I said name one thing Israel did deliberately but you just called it the condition of war. You're using excuses for Israel that you won't use for Palestine. Your bias is shining like the sun. You don't seem to realize that Israel doesn't live in a bubble. There are consequences to drastic action and if Israel just jumped in and conquered all of Palestine all at once, there'll be a lot of enemies willing to wage war on it. That's why it's doing it slowly. And it has no empathy for Palestine I can tell you that and I don't see Israel seeing palestinians as anything other than subhuman. You're blaming an occupied land for fighting for it's land and resources and freedom. If there's no pushback from Palestine, Israel can do whatever the hell it pleases. Most people think Israel is to blame and the reason it's still going on isn't because most people are wrong, it's because the world as a whole hasn't really done anything to stop it. There are no sanctions on these countries. Israel is getting tons of weaponry still. Israel continues to increase it's illegal settlements. Maybe Israel is being too cautious. Maybe they can conquer Palestine and we still won't do anything. Because hamas is no threat to Israel and it's "self defence force". The IDF is far more advanced and just needs an excuse like Hamas to further their agenda and propaganda

Are you bent on demeaning the term Anti-Semitism I take it? Learn to distinguish between criticism of a state, and an act of hatred and discrimination against a people.
