During israeli - palestinian negotiations what is the one thing that the palestinian side can offer?
The palestinians can't and won't stop attacking because its their only bargaining chip

Lesson 1: If you are equipped only with darts, don't throw them at another whose only retaliative options are a bunch of really long-handled sledge hammers.
Lesson 2: If you have only really long-handled sledgehammers with which to fight an inherently unbalanced war, expect an unending stream of negative comment from other quarters.
Lesson 3: Don't expect civilian or other excessive casualties to count against the stupidity of the first, but rather the brutishness of the second.
Lesson 4: Interminable and inane intractibility is apparently a virtue, at least among/between the participants.
What sort of "fairness" is it we are after.
I am loathe to comment further, as I do not wish others here to abandon a thread which, while it is nothing but a rehash of every other thread on the subject, provides the usual entertainment value.
One last thing, though - Seems to me that ignoring Lesson 1 is just barking stupid, and the other lessons follow it, so.

I am shocked at you Sunny. That was completely unfair. He might not have a friend called Tricky.Well spotted, there.

Sigh..which wasn't the goal, in war killing wont determine the win or loss; important is meting the objective, unless your objective was to make maximum civilians kills you have won nothing.Define "failed miserably" please. 3000 Lebanese killed. 10 times more than the Israeli side. More homes were screwed there than anywhere here, and more damage was done to Hizbollah than the IDF.
Forget it, your view of the world is as clotted up as a clotting clot can get.
Although you can be proud at one thing every time you step in a war, Collateral damage, youre good at it.
for god sake can we get some matured Israeli so we can talk sense, most smell like recent driving permit holders.
Lets look at it from the other way round then, how on earth can you claim that Hizbollah won? They literally caused the total destruction of southern Lebanon, and for what, 2 corpses of Israeli soldiers? Seriously, looking at it from their perspective, it was hardly worth it.
Show me a "proper" war, where there was no damage done at all to either of the sides.. And no, the card-game "war" doesn't count.
Quit acting as if you're the mature person here, if anything it's you that's looking for a tit for tat argument.. Proof of that is your first post in this thread.. :yawn:

1st of all i didnt say anything about winning but on defensive side which Hezbollah was on have won cuz they stopped the offensive hence preventing you from achieving the goal, directly or indirectly.Lets look at it from the other way round then, how on earth can you claim that Hizbollah won? They literally caused the total destruction of southern Lebanon, and for what, 2 corpses of Israeli soldiers? Seriously, looking at it from their perspective, it was hardly worth it.

Hell Yeah SkizoPerhaps. If history holds true, no world power lasts forever. Anything is possible. However, it will not be by your hands or the hands of those you follow, that I assure you.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy the mountaintop and the peace it brings. You should try it sometime.
So simple and yet so trueBy far the best two sentences in this thread.

bawa, i suggest you go to gaza and fight side by side with the hamas.
this will make you feel good, and it will be 1 less prick in the world.

Hizbollah won on the defensive side? hey did one heck of a job preserving the lives of all of the civilians they were hiding within
And another thing - How could they possibly be on the defensive end when they were the ones who provoked the whole war?! They fought, rocketed us, and we retaliated, and kicked the shit out of southern Lebanon - If I were any Lebanese civilian, I'd hate to see Nasrallah head out for another attack on Israel, as I would know my odds of staying alive/having a house to live in after it were all over would be pretty slim.
