It seems now that negotiations between Fatah and Hamas has led to an agreement of the founding of a palestinian state alongside Israel. They have been negotiating for some time, with the goal of ending international organizations' boycott of the palestinian authority.

This is good news.

(edit) read it on a norwegian paper, but here it is from bbc: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5121164.stm

    Actually we agree 100% on a lot of things, but we never debate our similarities. ;) We just dont like eachother's ways to talk about ideological and philosophical questions.

    Bullshit! Come on, say something silly like this:

    "Isreal is nothing more a product of the Palestinians' perception."

    or something like this:

    "There is no right or wrong, there are only norms."

    Damnit, I must take issue!!!!

    this is FANTASTIC news....finally some good news on this front. my only concern is if/when an official state of palastine is set up will it viable?
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    A nation cannot fear.

    As an American, I'll tell you that I fear nothing about peace in the Middle East.

    Here's to hoping they do. And likewise on the Israeli side. But something tells me that's the last thing you want to happen.

    As the tanks approach upon Gaza and the strikes continue it doesn't look as if anything peaceful is going to come out of this current situation.

    Most people on both sides of this conflict wish to see some kind of resolution but for some it seems that fighting is the only way they know how to behave........ and that comment is aimed at both sides not at the Palestinians alone....

    International press has now picked up and shown across the globe pictures of the Israeli soldier kidnapped by those evil Palestinian terrorists yet in the past week or so over twenty Palestinians including children have been killed by on going IOF violence yet there are no pictures of their faces or their parents calling for justice and restraint on global media .........

    However regardless of how this current story plays out I'm sure it will not be the end of this conflict - it will continue as long as people continue to draw blood ........... and it's just a pity there really doesn't seem to be a way out for the beseiged Palestinians nor the battle hungry IOF.

    Isreal wouldn't do anything in the name of Jesus. At least have a little knowledge about what you're writing.

    The neo-cons are here in US. So is the person who I was responding to. Get a clue before you critique others.
