[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, trading land for peace.  Hamas got elected, murdered its Fatah rivals and collaborators-with-Israel (peace activists), diverted billions in aid from Gazan civilians to tunnels and weapons, then started the current war with brutal war crimes including kidnapping, rape and mass murder of civilians.  Hamas placed its operations under schools, hospitals and mosques and also fires on aid crossings, in order to make Israel look bad while sacrificing its civilians.  So, land for peace didn't work.  Israel has tried it several times, and it doesn't work.[/quote]

Is that what you call what Israel is doing in the West Bank? Trading land for peace? Seems like the wrong people are getting the land in that supposed trade?

Asking because, last I checked, it seemed pretty obvious to me that the brutal land, sea and air blockade (to say nothing of the dizzying array of punitive policies that gravely affect the quality of life imposed on those in Gaza, or the unbridled terrorism inflicted on those in the West Bank by settlers, with Israeli gov't support) is the reason those past efforts to "trade land for peace" didn't work. I mean, aside from the fact that we're talking about trading land that was actually taken from them ("here's your stuff back, some of it anyway"), so it's not like Israel is some magnanimous nation generously doling out land in this fairytale.[/quote]
