What has years of negotiations + land giveaways ever gotten Israel?
More terrorism on more land against a shrinking Israel.
Arabs = 22 countries to go to, Jews have one tiny 1 several times smaller then smallest of Arab countries & shrinking.
Israel forcibly against own citizens, made some settlements Judenrein, for the Tarribists to steal (as if Judea and Sumeria (Gaza, West Bank) + the other land they have stolen from the Jews, hasn't been enough).
That land included greenhouses which grew flowers for export and earned profit over 2 million dollars/year.
Within 24 hours of Arab takeover, the greenhouses were totally destroyed by these terrorist thugs.
They hate civilization like a drug gang does.
No deals with them will EVER result in peace, it's a total fantasy.
Only defeating them will ever result in peace.
It was the same w/Nazi Germany, & Neville Chamberlian who thought he had "peace in our time" because Hitler had signed some stupid piece of paper.

Only a few wage war, battle, fire rockets, spew vicious rhetoric in the media, and draw attention to their beliefs, their ways, their solution. The vast majority watch as one side contests the other, trying to discover who tells the truth, whose actions are truly for the people. When the peoples hearts are won through good deeds and words, through actions based on compassion and caring for others, then the mass of people will oust their own leaders who are actually hate mongers. The Palestinians themselves will oust Hamas once they know for sure who they can trust and who are purveyors of lies and deceit. If Israel and its allies will invest themselves in truth telling, compassionate actions, and deeds of right and righteousness, the seeds of peace and reconciliation will be scattered throughout the region. War is not the answer. It can not bring a sense of peace or accomplishment. War does not produce brothers out of combatants. The hand of reconciliation is the only answer.

Mr. Hooymans should really be addressing Hamas, advising them to sit down and talk instead of firing rockets. Firing rockets is no solution for peace. Israel said if Hamas stops their offensive, then they would stop retaliating. True compassion here would also be to speak to Hamas to stop involving their civilians in the battlefield. It's so obvious. That would solve the problem.
Unfortunately, however, Hamas doesn't seem to care about its people. Egypt was willing to receive casualties from Gaza. The Egyptian foreign minister announced Hamas was not letting the casualties to arrive, said Hamas was to blame. Also an Arab commentator claimed Hamas didn't reply to Egypt's invitation to come to internal Palestinian dialogue and also prevented supply convoys from arriving in Gaza. Now we hear that Hamas confiscated loads of supplies that were destined for 500 Gazan needy families.
As a compassionate person, Mr. Hooymans should be directing his dialogue to Hamas.

All of Israel belongs to the Jews. No one can give away the property of the entire Jewish people. Our enemies wish to do us harm, regardless of how Israel tries to appease them. Giving them land will not help the situation.

14 Cheshvan, 5750 • November 12, 1989
The only approach which has succeeded so far is when Israel makes clear to the United States through its actions, that it will not compromise on security issues, and that the US needs a strong partner in the Middle East.

19 Kislev, 5743 • December 5, 1982
The Israeli government must set its priorities in Operation “Peace for Galilee.”
From the outset, the military experts made it clear that casualties could be minimized on both sides of the conflict by a swift operation, which could be over in days. Even the President of the US did not pressure Israel to do otherwise. But some politicians became afraid of their own inner insecurities.

Sderot Under Attack
Life in Sderot: At any given moment, you have only fifteen seconds to find cover from rockets launched from Gaza. Would any western democracy tolerate this reality in their cities?
