Of course, you pick the BBC, the same source that makes it's own news by planting hecklers at political rallies for candidates it doesn't like.
Let's see: 1) no facts other than Amnesty International as a source.
2) the building of homes to join a community with Israel. big deal.
3) people in a no-go area.
4) no clear story here: beeb says disguised as an arab, myantiwar.com and al-jazeera repeated that an 'israeli commando' was dressed as a woman, it appears this disguise nonsense is fiction. Israeli sources said Smeri, the first Palestinian to be killed by troops in the West Bank in more than a month, had been planning a shooting attack in Jerusalem and responded to an attempt to arrest him by opening fire at the soldiers.
The soldiers returned fire, wounding the 23-year-old who died shortly afterward despite receiving treatment at an army post, the sources said.
I understand now. the cease-fire is only violated when Israel responds. The mortars and rockets and deaths caused by Fatah (abbas' party), Al-Aqsa (abbas' own wing of Fatah), these mean nothing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Let both sides fight until a) both sides completely give up or b) both sides wipe each other out completely.
Either solution is fine with me.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

In an enormous good faith gesture, Israel is soon to pull out of Gaza.
What are the Palestinian plans for Gaza after Israel pulls out ?
Their ingenious peace plan is of course to wage war and to fire rockets into Israel.
Members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade "whose commitments are conditional" want to resume fighting, the source said. The groups are arming, recruiting, training and planning for the next round of fighting, the senior officer said.
Thousands of guns, including Kalashnikov assault rifles and handguns, are smuggled from Egypt into the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Prices have dropped, indicating some of the demand has been met.
Other weapons include rocket-propelled grenades, explosives, anti-tank rockets and probably Strella anti-aircraft missiles, the source said.

Israel should ready the Apaches, F-16s and various missiles to retaliate for every single missile, no matter how crude, that the palestinians launch.
You give somebody peace, and they still want war ? Well, it's time to give them what they really want and desire. Flatten them, and discuss peace with the remaining survivors.

You forgot
c) Let them fight until Israel destroys them, because that is exactly what would happen.
I'm not too crazy about this whole peace thing either, especially when the weaker side does not want peace. So, give 'em war. It's pretty simple really.

That's fine too. Good point! Then when the IDF is done decimating the Palestinians Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia will attack Israel in retaliation. Then we will see some real fighting.
Those who want war should get war. And I think every country in the Middle East would love nothing better than a fully involved conflict of "us against them".

Isreal attacks Palestine, Syria, and Jordan. Wipes them out.
Saudi Arabia makes a move to go in.. but is repelled from IRAQ as we just freed them...and a new US / British / Iraqi Coalition demolishes the Saudis and then we own all the oil.
We all give a collective middle finger to Germany / France / Russia.

Eeeeeh, yes, then you could drive your SUV again without ever thinking about gas and feel great, because you are soooo much better than all the others

You betcha! I don't drive an SUV though. I was thinking about how we have been raped by the OIL sheiks over the decades. I'd rather drive a nice hybrid SUV though and fly real real cheap. Nothing wrong with being thrifty.
We are better than Germany / France / and Russia.

Be careful not to spend too much time in the sun ... your ego might heat up, expand and eventually explode.

We most definitely are, in just about every conceivable category, including economically, millitarily, scientifically, morally, you name it.
Just to be fair and balanced�, the Germans do have better beer than us, the French make a better baguette than we do, and the Russians can probably drink a whole lot more vodka than we do.

JERUSALEM - In his toughest warning to militants, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday threatened to strike with an "iron fist" anyone who violates a truce with Israel and pledged quiet during Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements this summer.
Militants Arrested by PA Security
Of course, you pick the BBC, the same source that makes it's own news by planting hecklers at political rallies for candidates it doesn't like....
...Which turned out to be a false allegation because the BBC were actually filming a documentary about heckling, which was subsequently aired and showed they'd been analysing hecklers at all three main party rallies.
But carry on with your multiple posts of negativity, because as we've all learnt from the many years the Israel-Palestine conflict, it really helps us to reach a resolution.

You had me at "We most definately are.." 
They can't make better Beer anymore, Microbreweries in the USA rock.
The French no longer have the corner on the Baquette or the Madeleins (sp), can do that too.
Russians and Vodka? Ok. They win that one.

I think you should stop drinking that German beer, and the vodka. The French baguette is a bad mix with these drinks; it acts as a sponge and keeps you drunk longer...
