I think that this thread is very interesting, hence a few thoughts.

A lot of people here seem to know a lot about the subject, yet most people are taking one side and a bias - something that can't be done if this matter is to be resolved. I think that there is a lot of pride that caused a lot of retaliation. This has been going on so long now that the groups have been divided and this war is has become a cultural war now. There are so many things that need to be resolved now that I think it will VERY hard to settle the issue.

And for the people who talk about israeli's army. Yes, there armed forces are good. But if they resorted to nuclear weapons other countries would be involved very fast. Someone mentioned why does Israel need to be sneaky. Because brute force would turn them into the historical Germany and the consequences would be as hard to Israel as they were on Germany.
