The attack on the Gaza flotilla, the blockade of the Gaza Strip, the presence of the fundamentalist Hamas and an extremist government in Israel, political disarray in Palestinian ranks, and mutual distrust between Israelis and Palestinians do not bode well for the future. But could peace be just around the corner or is it a dim and distant prospect?

I don't think they'll ever at peace. They have some deep-rooted issues!

Yes, but no issue is irreconcilable - it just requires the right political will and the right leadership.

Really? Only when everyone in the World finally
realizes that War isn't the answer to any of our
problems and start to work together. Imagine what
we could accomplish if we spent all the time, energy,
& money spent on going to War to work towards Peace!

Never !

The CIA is the executive branch of this setup. Thousands of agents are there, fomenting revolutions and committing assassinations. Not even the president has any inkling of what they are doing. Every border in the middle east was drawn up by Westerners, lumping people together who will never get along. This guarantees continued weapon sales and is financed by your tax dollars !

If muso quotes are allowed... 'just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you". Could all be true, of course, but I might be saying that just to mess with your head. (-:

It comes down to how bad can it get before things start to improve, and what your understanding of peace is. If peace just means no walls, then 10 years should do it. If peace means no walls and no organised violence against each other, then 25 years. If peace means no walls, no organised violence and no distrust, then never.
