I don't agree with everything you write, but I'm damn glad you are writing about these issues. Each of your posts is more thorough than the previous one.
My opinion: I've given up hope that any sane resolution to this situation will ever be found. I've come to accept the Israeli-Palestinian conflict like a force of nature. In the same way that violent weather and diseases will always claim lives, people will always kill each other in the Middle East. It's been happening since before I was born, and it will happen long after I die, perhaps going on forever.
Palestinians win by surviving, and Israel loses by killing innocents. If Israel sees violence as the only solution, then they should be prepared to take it to the logical conclusion and kill everyone in the Gaza strip. As long as one person survives, there will be resistance which Israel will interpret as terrorism.
