There will be no Israeli-Palestinian peace unless East Jerusalem becomes the capital of a Palestinian state while the city remains united.

Israel believes in the Peace Process but really does not want the peace because as long as the process remains unresolved they are free to keep seizing more land.

Much has been said about the attitude of the Arab world to Israel but here are some historic quotes by David Ben-Gurion, the first Israeli PM and "the father of their nation".

“If I was an Arab leader I would never make [peace] with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country.”

“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”

“We must do everything to ensure they [the Palestinian refugees] never do return”

“I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”

“The present map of Palestine was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill: from the Nile to the Euphrates.”

Of course Israel has the right to defend itself but don't the Palestinians also have the right not to have their houses and land illegally stolen and suffer under extreme sanctions?

If as humane people we put an animal down to end it's suffering,
Shouldn't we just nuke the entire middle east right now?
Wouldn't that be the humane thing to do?

The Israeli regime was founded on terrorism.
Its a FACT that both Likud Party and modern Israel itself
WERE FOUNDED ON TERRORISM
70 - 80 odd years later here we are
- Blowing up media offices - Has anything really changed?
That's what governments do when they've lost the legitimacy to rule.
- Lost the legitimacy to be considered anything else but a band of maniacs.

Do you want to know the NUMBER 1 reason why you blow up a media office?
To stop others reporting about the things YOU'RE DOING.

They wanted the building flattened end of story and they always come out with some half baked crap to try and justify whatever they do,
- Whether they're blowing up kids on the beach with rockets;
Or flattening 10 story buildings full of foreign reporters.
