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.

The Rebbe’s compassionate attention to “the little things”
Starting from Moses, their first leader, the Jewish People have been led by individuals exhibiting an essential and unique quality: They were thoughtfully attuned to the distinct and disparate needs of each person in their flock. Throughout history, in times of triumph and adversity, this trait has shown to be distinctively present and in each of our leaders.

The Rebbe's relentless call for every Jew to never rest
The Rebbe's message was as old as the Torah itself, yet his approach was as rousing as dawn. He urged each person, in personal and communal life, to never be satisfied with yesterday's achievements or today's successes, but to soar tomorrow to even greater heights.
