Failing that just get it over with and kill them all.

Why would Israel want to kill all it's own innocent civilians? No, no, no, I just mean they could kill all the Arabs. It'd make the problem go away.

Why does there need to be any justification for it?
It's a post on a message board. I haven't, say, just dropped a bomb on a house wiping out almost an entire family while they were asleep.
i don't think i've said anything too offensive at all.
I apologise if I've hurt anyone's feelings.

I think you're mistaking me for someone else. I'm not advocating anyone killing anyone. And unfortunately you're wrong - the majority don't want to live in peace. Both countries are democracy's remember?

No no no. They just moved back into Gaza, it looks like they might go back into Lebanon and they are not in the process of pulling out of the West Bank.
The right direction would be back to the 67 borders - unconditionally.
that = peace
or as near as that region is going to get to it.
