Greed is the cause of all warfare. The greed of the corrupt Israeli government has led to the recent conflict in Lebanon.
The Regular citizenry of Israel wants peace, but their government has a a thirst for waging war and gaining more territory. Their missile launches that have killed innocent Palestinians are no better than the targeting of Innocent Israelis by terrorist "Palestinians". I understand why so many Muslims join the fight against the Israeli government, but I don't justify the killing of ANY civilians.
To be absolutely honest, this wouldn't even be a problem if the United Nations wouldn't have chopped Palestine up in 1948 and jammed "Israel" down their throats. It is understandable that the UN was seemingly trying to give the Jewish Population their own country, but at the same time, it was a slap in the face of every Muslim in that region.
Furthermore, if you want to look at this from an open-minded and honest Christian perspective; In the Bible, God kicked the Israelis out of the "promised land" for their continuous worship of false idols. So, by all means, the reason their has been so much carnage in this situation has been a result of the following;
Before - God had given the land to the descendents of Isaac and Israel, but after the coming of Messiah and the consistent disrespect of God by worshipping pagan gods; they were kicked out of that land to be spread throughout the earth.
After - In the wake of the holocaust, the United Nations created the new Israel in the mock-image of the Biblical "promised land". The new Israel was created by man, not God, and that's why there is all this current conflict (and also why it is predicted that THIS ISRAEL will be the scene of many end times events).
TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
P.S.: Peace IS possible in the middle east, but not likely, because neither side is willing to make the necessary compromises to achieve it.

Most of the Israeli leaders have no real plan for lasting peace. Peace to the Israeli leaders means the end of Israel. Israel is living on aids from the USA. Israeli lobby in the USA is more hard liner than the Israeli leaders on most positions. The Israel Lobby gets for Israel
4 billions $ each year from American taxpayers . how can Israel live without that lobby its true poor Jews and poor Arabs are getting killed everyday so can some lobbyist make his living in the USA and look most of that money go to war business. So Israeli leaders made the Jewish state a war zone forever.The only clear reason why Israel is in that miss is the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land . if Israel implement the UN 242 resolution in full there will be an end to the on going wars in the Middle East. Israel up to this day will not tell the world and the Palestinian that it will withdraws from all the land mentioned in UN Resolution. Israel want to keep land that was never part of Israel and this is why Israel will never have a lasting peace with native Palestinian people .
End occupation for lasting peaceALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL BYGOD
HOLY LAND IS FOR ALL GOD PEOPLE JEWS AND PALESTINIAN" CHIRSTIAN AND MUSLEMS"

Will the Middle East ever stop fighting? Even before Israel was founded, the Arab tribes were cutting each other's throats. Islam brought some civilization and peace, but did not wholly succeed. Do you think it would be any different if Israel broke camp and established itself anywhere else?

The History of the Middle East conflict is too extensive and complex for me to answer in a few words, and don't like to write too much.
I can only tell you this: this conflict between Israel and the surrounding Arab countries is not exactly ONLY political
it IS SPIRITUAL! IF you believe in what the Bible says, take a good look in what the prophets write about it.
Besides, it is going to be worse before it gets better.
Peace in this area is not possible - humanly speaking.
TRUE peace is in God alone. Here in Israel there are churches (we call they congregations) where both Jews and Arabs who believe in Jesus (YESHUA) meet and worship the God of Israel, TOGETHER and IN TRUE peace.
But you can read more about the History of these conflicts in wikipedia for example.
but first got to The Book!

Always. Now, civilized Arab nations like Egypt and Saudi Arabia have learned. However, countires like Iran and Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, will never learn. They promote terrorism. They supply terrorism. Israel would certainly negotiate if they were facing someone not from the 12 century, but unfortunately they are not. The only goal of the Islamo-fascists is to wipe out Israel completely, that will never change.

I am not sure that there will ever be peace there. If you read on the history of Israel it is very interesting to note that the Zionist are kind of the catalyst to this whole thing. Not taking sides here and sure wish for the poor and the children that all sides would see clearly but the history of the region is very interesting and can not be denied. Jewish folks have lived there for thousands of years and peacefully as well. They were just mixed in with the other cultures and all was well. THEN the Zionist decided that they needed a state to just themselves and started buying up land. When they finally owned a big enough plot to stake claim to they looked at the Palestinians who had been there for just as long and said get out. This is ours now. Helped and backed up by England and least we forget America they got what they wanted. Now I think that if most folks knew this that they would have a different view of the whole thing. However now what do you do? There have now been generations born and are living there, folks that have nothing to do with Zionist. Now the Zionist will tell you that it is their right. That land was given to them by their God and they were moved off of it many many many years prior to all of this even. There is not right and wrong in this whole Middle Eastern conflict. The whole thing is sad; it is groups of terrorist on sides, throwing stones and hurting innocents. It will take hundreds more years before everyone on both sides forgets what caused all of it in the first place and mothers get tired of losing sons and daughters before it is done. Folks finally getting tired of fighting over dirt. History is full of extremist that have caused pain and suffering. It is wonderful to think about a world with out them but not sure that we will see it in our life time.
Also as an interesting foot note. Not that I think the bible is the end all be all but it is interesting to read up on the reasons it gives for the conflict there. The bible STORY talks about Sarah, Abraham’s wife starting it all by disobeying God. When God came to Abraham and told him that he would have descendants that numbered like the sand Sarah laughed at God. So he said they would have to name their son Isaac meaning laughter.
Anyway and paraphrasing here, she got tired of waiting and decided it would be a good idea to send her handmaiden to Abraham and get her pregnant because maybe that is what God meant. Never mind what he said. So she sends her handmaiden who gets pregnant and has Ishmael. Well then a little bit later Sarah does indeed end up pregnant and she has Isaac. Abraham loves both sons and Sarah ONCE AGAIN steps in and decides that Ishmael is a threat to Isaacs’s heritage so talks Abraham into sending the handmaiden and the son out into the desert to die. So God intervenes and saves the two from death but says that there will never be peace between the two houses again. Islam teaches that they are descendants of Abraham from Ishmael.
So bottom line here is this is between two different religious beliefs and I think history can show over and over again how nasty that can be. To complicate matter further the Christians jump in and take sides and offer assistance to the Jewish folks because of the close ties in their religions. So it is a big mess that will continue until the three Gods or the one God with three representatives comes down and sorts it all out among the folks that blindly follow along without thinking of what their actions are doing to their own heritage let alone the world.
Much Peace to all

Since the stated aim of the Palestinian leaders is to eradicate Israel then they will go on until they achieve this or they decide otherwise. Israel has not stated that it wishes to eradicate Palestine so I don't know if this is their unstated aim or not, but they will continue to fight at least until the Palestinians stop.

There is a lesson they needed to learn from each other, until the lesson is learned, the fight contiues. we learn from a every situations either the hard way or the easy way. Again, when the trait runs old, they will all become tired & stop fighting each other & the world would be very surprise.
