What Am I Missing? - Israel and Hamas (Palestinians)

[alxone]

I'm trying to figure out the motivating factors for the British and French, why would they want to do this.

i could go into detail but the short answer is guilt . promises made after ww1 were not held and then after ww2 everyone felt real sh*ty . france then went to war with indochina (vietnam) to help rebuild and the brits tried not to starve as they rebuilt .

the problem is that its not cut and dry or black and white , at this point both sides have committed some many wrongs that making some rights are gonna take a lot of pride swallowing on both sides .

did you watch the video?

israel has offered peace several times now.

Historically speaking the sequence of events in the video is pretty accurate but the depiction of the parties involved is extremely one sided (look who made the video and tell me it's not biased...).

If you read what I wrote on pg 7 it'll give you an idea of what the big roadblocks to peace are. BOTH sides have offered peace but not on terms the other side can accept.

Nothing is simple when there are millions of people, religion and extremely emotionally charged issues on both sides.

I agree, guilt isn't a reason to do anything. This was also one of the last, arrogant acts of a fading superpower.
