Middle East Conflict

I'm not sure what you expect foreign governments to do? Israel is under attack from all quarters. It isn't a case of Israel stops and everything stops. Foreign governments cannot call on Israel to stop defending itself.

If Israel stops then will the rocket attacks from Hamas in Gaza stop? What about the incursions on the north border with Lebanon from Hezbollah? What about the cruise missiles being launched at Israel from Yemen?

Israel has declared war and it's because they've seen the start of a very different cycle of violence compared to previously where Hamas fired a few pop rockets into Israel and Israel dropped laser guided bombs in return. This is an existential threat to Israel.

I am sorry I disagree, there is a negotiated way to end this madness, otherwise when will this madness end, when everyone’s dead? The whole region is up in flames ? Our economies ruined, a ripple in the Middle East caused a tsunami in the rest of world

Are we all going to negotiate parts out of the Koran that call for the eradication of the Jews, or the other things that go along with it ?

Best of luck with that, because as already stated it is apparently the immutable word of god !

Best we can hope for is some form of truce that will not be legally binding on Islam (another thing stated in their scripture) until they find themselves powerful enough to break treaty.

What is the negotiated way to end it? I agree a negotiation is necessary but that comes after both parties have agreed to stop killing each other. I'm more talking about getting to the latter. Israel could negotiate with people like Arafat many years ago but this is different.

Israel has no sensible and calm leadership to negotiate with, they're all in Qatar waging war and sunning it a million miles from the war they have started.

You have to remember that Hamas currently hold hundreds of hostages. Many posters on here conveniently forget that when they call for restraint and in the same breath almost justify shite such as armed struggle in desperation.

Taking hostages for a political cause pretty much fulfils the definition of terrorism so should a country negotiate with terrorists?

Perhaps you should have made that distinction.

Nice try at walking it back though ! ;-)

It's not walking back anything. Jewish settlers formed terrorist groups and carried out a campaign of violence, which included targeting civilians.

The British withdrew in response to the chaos.

Why do you ignore the UN's declaration that Israeli settlements are illegal?
