Any restructuring of borders is going to be messy, and short of Hamas pursuing a "from the river to the sea" approach, there have been some slim indications that they may be open to utilizing the 1967 borders.

why should Israel give into any demands of Hamas? Why should Israel lose territory?

try to see this from the perspective of Israel/the Israeli government, they relinquished control of gaza in 2005 and they are still having problems today -- giving up land would solve absolutely nothing.

you don't try to appease terrorists, everyone in the area wants Israel to be wiped out.

I think based off of the shortness of our exchange it may seem like I'm implying that Israel should cede land in a way that appeases Hamas; however, that's not my intention. The 1967 borders are just the potential options for borders that are most-likely to result in long-term stability in the region, at least at this time.

Also, at bare minimum, Israel needs to address its settler problem and restore the illegally occupied land to the Palestinians. They are a significant security risk for Israel.

I don't believe it

From the perspective of mutually restructuring borders, I think so. Now, whether a movement towards peace can be facilitated by border restructuring? That part I have serious doubts. At this time neither Hamas nor Israel seem interested.

Yea no chance for stability whatsoever in the Middle East. That was the whole goal of the U.S military from day one when we invaded Iraq

We just coincidentally guarded Oil & Opium fields for fun while trying to locate the "terrorist".

We just left billions of dollars of military equipment in Afghanistan because the "best" people would get a hold of it **hint hint a power vacuum is not only an effective offensive tool but a defensive one as well.

The people in Israel and Gaza are pawns people are just too proud to admit some humans see other humans as trash and other groups/interests are well paid to do their bidding.

Never will be peace there or anywhere only fools believe in "peace"...

How long does "peace" stand? As long as someone is willing to die to protect it.

Are Mexicans terrorists? Your meme is dumb as usual

yes, but for you to accept this, they apparently would have to start murdering Israelites instead of Americans

your America-hating leftist scumbag take is more transparent than usual

Yeah sirthom, you show that majorblood NERD who's boss. majornerd thinks he can get away with posting a chart showing only January 12-22.
He then attempts to obfuscate his mistake by using big complicated words like "X-Axis" and "denoting" to confuse us into thinking we're wrong when it's actually him that's wrong.

Hey majorblood why don't you denote deez nuts.
