Iran, the aspiring nuclear weapons holders that they are, sure make some sorry rockets that they sell/donate/lend/rent to Hamas. I mean seriously, gasoline and fertilizer as a propellant?!? All that smuggling over hundreds of miles for home-made do-it-yourself rockets?! And these people want nuk-leer weapons? If that's the best they can do I say let them have it!!! - go right ahead, build all the nuk-leer weapons u want. - LOL
Also, the talk about a two state solution is BS. Actions speak louder than words. You don't continue to build settlements in the West Bank and re-occupy Gaza (which ultimately will be the result of the current crisis) if you really want a two state solution. Those actions suggest that despite the talk of a two state solution the facts are that Israel is doing everything it can to undermine that idea.
Therefore, I agree with what another poster suggested: The true goal of Israel is to continue to perpetuate and stoke the specter of the raving terrorist by creating an environment for the Palestinians wherein reconciliation becomes impossible thus ensuring a significant minority of the population will remain militant which, in turn, would allow Israel to justify its holocaust-like treatment of the Palestinians.
In that same vein, Israel will continue to undermine any legitimate leadership entities of the Palestinians in the divide and conquer strategy that it has been using since 1948. Its what is happening now with Hamas and Fatah. It does not take a genius to know before hand that any attack on Hamas in Gaza will make Fatah weaker. If Fatah is weaker, and given that Hamas is branded as a terrorist organization, then the "Peace" process goes nowhere while settlement building and land grabbing, etc. continue unabated.
The solution is obvious to those paying attention. But its easier said than done.
