Guest ifor's view on the things that Israel has to do to get "peace:

1 The recognition that the Palestinians in exile,and their descendents have the right of return to their homeland ..a homeland from which they were dispersed by terror so many years ago.

2 The withdrawal of Israeli occupying forces from the West Bank,Gaza, the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem.These areas are not part of Israel and are being occupied in defiance of UN resolutions.

3 An end to the siege of Gaza and the Israeli military flyovers,naval blockade and economic stranglehold.

I note that according to Guest ifor the Arabs of "Palestine" have to do nothing.

Guest ifor is correct of course Israel would get "Peace" if it followed his advice. Of course the "Peace" that Israel would get would be the sort of "Peace" that normally has the words "Rest In" before it.

To Guest ifor I would encourage him to look up what the qualifications are for a so called "Palestinian" to have "right of return" - It is absolutely laughable.

As for withdrawal of forces from the territories Guest ifor mentioned. Bitter experience has taught Israel that the only way they can do that is by extracting from certain parties acknowledgement and recognition of Israel's right to exist and the right of the citizens of Israel to live their lives free from attack and the threat of violence from their neighbours - So far Guest ifor that has worked with Egypt and its worked with Jordan.

An end to the "siege" of Gaza?? Why?? So that Hamas can import longer range rockets from Iran unhindered??

"Senior Hamas officials are demanding that the conditions for reconciliation (Between Hamas, Fatah and other Palestinian Groups) should include an end to negotiations with Israel and to the peace process, a unity agreement under a banner of "resistance", and continued Hamas control of Gaza"

As long as Hamas keep coming out with statements such as those, they will deserve everything they get and that applies in equal measure to those who vote for them - all decisions, courses of action and deeds done in life have consequences - had the Arabs of Palestine accepted what the UN offered in 1947 then they would have had everything that they say they are fighting for now and just think of the numer of lives that would not have been wasted.
