Brynasmith,
Its that peace procss (which created the Palestinian Authority out of the PLO) which was reversed when Sharron came to power....(ie Israel broke it)
As the Pallestinian Authority (PLO) refused to fight (hoping for a new Diplomatic formula (they got more out of The Peace Process than in the years of Bombing), the Pallestinians have been turning to Hamas, and these are the people that are the Terrorists now.
The big difference being that: The PLO was always a Nationalist Organisation (and would count YOU as Palestinian, based on your family living there 1000 years)...whereas Hamas is a fundamental Islamic Organisation....ie Religioun Based.
The only way to get Peace is to recognise and show the Pallestinian People that the Pallestinian Authority IS in their interest and turn away from Hamas.
Its taken 10 years for the majority of Pallestinians to support Hamas over the PLO...expect another 10 years (at least) of terrorism, gradualy dimminishing as more and more Pallestinians turn back to the PLO.
Of course, Israel will not stand for the fact that they suffer the terrorist attacks, hence they will retaliate....this will increase support for Hamas, and Diplomacy will move even further away.
Israel is the ONLY country with the power to stop terrorism in the area....but not with a policy of huge retaliation. As the Pallestinian Authority receives more of a mandate, they will help.....but they CANT now. In any war between the Pallestinian Authority and Hamas at the moment...Hamas will win.
Even if Israel stops the retaliation, its going to be a long, painful process![]()
