They actually did till two recent goverments. Retaliation strikes - like when Palestinian blew up another place, Israel just would move tanks to another settlement of P. , ask everyone leave and level it to the ground. It did stop terorrist attacks for a serious while. And people stopped sleep with gas masks under pillows for first time in years. Then all the peaceloving crap started and terrorists were back....

But then all those settlements in desert got enough people who actually been living there even before Israel was formed as modern country, so why the heck they should leave..

I agree we, the USA, should have NOTHING to do with this area. It is a MiddleEast problem. Let them go to war.....If the Palestinians think they can win, more power to them..
Amen to that, but you forgetting one little detail. Israeli got arsenal enough to wipe out most of MidEast completely. One nutty palestinian terrorist getting near it, and you got cool mushroomy cloud there.

Its internal affair, yep, by all means no one has right to tuck their nose into things of state. Overwise whats next? States getting down to Bellfast and sorting out Ireland and UK? But then no one would like oil lands to be blown in pieces either. 8)

Not sure if I fully agree with you. Aren't the Israeli's just as much "mutts" in the Middle East as Palestinians? Aren't the Jews there from Europe after WWII when Israel was formed? There was no Israel before 1947. They basically
You kind of wrong. There were plenty of jews living about modern Palestinian/Israeli borders. Majority of course came from Europe , but there quite decent numbers of "natives".

have come back now to "reclaim" it. Right? Land is always fought over and exchanged during wars, but you don't give it back after?
8) Tell that to Poland that lost huge chunks of its territory (they are actually decent about it), or to Japan and their "northern islands" thing, that keep bugging them for years (they are NOT very decent about it). Or to all the russians who think that Alaska has to be returned, as it was just rented temporarily to United States, and no one fucking care 'bout it 8)
