The land today known as Israel?

Or do you think that is impossible and way too ambitious, hence we will keep having terrorists coz they wanna "eliminate Israel".

Note: I understand the occupation of Palestine could be nonviolently settled like Gandhi would do, but I'm talking about that overall goal the radicals have of getting all of the land back to the arabs which Israel is based on right now? Could Gandhi have reached that goal? At the time of Israel's creation, he opposed Israel and supported the Palestinians.

  1. No since Israel was attacked back in 1973 the land they occupy now belongs to them. Palestine can have some Syrian land.


  2. Although it would be a good experiment, it is unlikely that non-violent protest will result in anything.  Israel is bulldozing houses everyday in Palestine to make room for more jewish settlements.  The people they displace sometimes have only hours to vacate the premises or risk being crushed (yes they will and have done that before).  In fact non-Palestinians (Europeans and Americans mostly) have been protesting the occupation for years now and yet there is little mention in the mainstream media about their struggle.

    I watched a documentary about one such group standing in front of the bulldozers in hopes of slowing the destruction of Palestinian homes.  The bulldozer crushed the British protestor and then tried to say it was an accident.  The man died on the way to an Israeli hospital after waiting hours in an inadequate Palestinian hospital trying to get permission to cross into Israeli territory.  If the man had been Palestinian, this would not have been an option.  If this kind of protest goes unnoticed in mainstream media then what hope do Palestinians have.

    The media is heavily biased towards Israelis and will mention every suicide bomb set off in Israel but will neglect to mention that the man who blew himself up just had his house bulldozed or his brother killed by indiscriminant Israeli fire.  There is more to the story then is told by mainstream media and we cannot simply disregard the plight of the Palestinians simply because some of them are so desperate and full of hate they would destroy themselves just to injure Israel.

    What makes a people so desperate that they would do this to themselves?  We have to look at the underlying reason for the violence and cannot look upon the violence in a context unto itself.  That is unfair and naive.

  3. No.

  4. If you knew your history then this wouldn't even be a question.  There are no people called Palestinians.  These people are really Jordanians that were displaced and now no Arab country wants them.  You don't notice them going and asking Jordan for their homes back!  Why not?  Because it will never happen and yet the world wants Israel to give back land to a people that by birth don't belong there!

  6. Palestine will never have its land back thanks to the United Nations declaring the Jewish the proud new owners of that land.  Furthermore, name one strong nation that backs Palestine...times up, you have your answer.  Its the principle lesson I learned in college strong states vs weak states and those who have the power make the rules.
