[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Does Israel recognize Palestine? There are posters here who actually say there is no such thing as a Palestinian. The Likud Party's platform describes Gaza and the West Bank as part of Israel.  Why are you concerned about the position of only one party in this conflict?

Israeli government recognizes Palestinian national aspiration as a matter of policy and international and bi-laternal agreements it signed. Most Jews consider Gaza and West Bank (Judea/Samaria to us) as part of of "The Land of Israel" but most Israelis agree with Palestinians having their own state and sharing the territory of "The Land of Israel". Many Israelis even support Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem being part of a Palestinian state. But as long as Hamas (which wants the total destruction of any Jewish state) is what Palestinians want as their government, there will be no peace. The problem is that too many Palestinians believe that Israel will go away in 50 years or 100 years or 150 years if they just wait. And the problem is also that enough Jews (the settlers who have a big influence on Israeli politics) believe that they can take back more and more small pieces of The Land of Israel in the meantime.
