they're at it again....

As John's earlier post states...the war over the Gaza Strip is increasingly getting more devastating and more serious. Headlines in news stories and on websites tell us that everyday more innocent victims are being killed, many of them children. 

Obviously this "war" over the "holy land" has been going on for centuries and has never really been settled. After all the so called "seize fire" is no longer in use. 

To me I feel that religion is the cause for many and most wars( referring to the blog before ). Also I feel that because of so much blood has been shed over this "holy land" that it....isn't so holy anymore.

There are 3 very broad solutions to this issue:
- State for Israel
- State for Palestine
- 2 state solution.

I know all three of those solutions are far from realistic but any thoughts on what the outcome of this war will be? Which solution do you guys feel will most likely take place?

ps. I am very aware that there is far more background information and history then just splitting it between two countries, between a minority and majority or even just splitting it. But this is just for opinions.

I think...

Israel will gain some ground. They will have a temporary advantage. But in the long term, this is just going to let old wounds fester and this rivalry between Israel and Palestine will just become more solidified than it ever was before.

As time passes, I think their relations will change slowly. Very slowly. Hopefully for the better. The only thing that will move along quickly would be the expanding size/destruction of the missiles they lob at each other...
