Peace treaty for the MIDDLE EAST..Will it work?

Question

What makes the UN think that this treaty that has been accepted by certain countries will work? Do they actually think the middle east will follow these directions? Why should they? I am an US citizen and I think that it is crazy for the world to think that this will stop the fighting. The middle east has been in turmoil since the days of ABRAHAM.Actually, I feel that ISRAEL is fighting like a country ought to fight...no holds barred, not afraid of hurting feelings or at least I have not seen the liberals of their country trying to save lives.....APPOLOGIZE FOR THE FIGHTING...WAR IS WAR! Well I think it is ridicoulous for people to think this resolution will solve their problems.

Answer 1

Millions of people who took to the streets today in disgust at what is happening to Lebanon would not agree with your illogical thinking that 'war is war'. Lebanon was invaded. We are horrified by the daily images of blood death destruction of Lebanon and people frm all over the globe came out to voice their disgust at this continual bombardment of a country which offered no threat to Israel. They have destroyed the infrasctructure ofn this country. Will they pay for the reconstruction from the $4Billion given to them by the US or would that deprive them of buying more bunker busting bombs?.

Here is an extract from a speech made by London Mayor today from the BBC website .

Livingstone, Mayor of London, has sent the following message of support to the `ceasefire now' demonstration in London on Saturday 5 August.

"I want to welcome this demonstration to London. Your slogan for an immediate ceasefire has the support of the majority of the people of London, Britain and the entire world.

"Given its financial and military dependence on the United States, Israel could not continue its massacres of civilians and the destruction of the civilian infrastructure of Lebanon and Gaza for one more day if there was a united demand for a ceasefire from the international community.

"That is being blocked by the U.S., unfortunately supported by government policy in this country. We must fight to reverse this, including by a recall of parliament to allow MPs to discuss the issue.

"In order to get civilians out of the firing line immediately, there should be a simultaneous ceasing of Israeli air attacks on Lebanon and of rocket attacks into Israel.

"This week it was revealed that Israel's destruction of Lebanon was planned before the capture of the two Israeli soldiers. Indeed, it is well known that Israel illegally holds nearly ten thousand Palestinian captives and has been holding Lebanese prisoners for many, many years.

"If their concern is captured soldiers, let all prisoners held by all sides be released immediately.

"This conflict has seen the collapse of Israel’s entire strategy of imposing unilateral solutions on the Palestinians and its neighbours by building a `separation wall’. It is now clear that all sides can strike deep into one another’s territory and no wall will remove that threat.

"There will no unilateral solution. The only way to solve this conflict is for Israel to negotiate with the democratically elected Palestinian Authority and the governments of Israel’s neighbours to reach a comprehensive settlement based on the implementation of all United Nation resolutions – which must include the commitment by Israel to withdraw from all of the territories it has occupied since 1967 in contravention of UN resolutions."

Answer 2

going by historical antecedents of these two tribes there can hardly be any peace in the middle east. whoever could muster more power would always stay atop. but the Israelites seems to have committed more genocide than the Palestinians even going by historical reckoning. the best thing that would happen to both of them is to accept the reality that they are different but that they need to coexist peacefully with each side respecting and honoring the other sides cultures, beliefs and practices.

Answer 3

1) Any agreement will work if America really has the will to enforce it.So far this is not the case.
2) If we accept your idea that everything is allowed in war because war is war ,then Hitler was right to burn the Jews and Binladen was right in 9/11 because war is war as you say.Actually Everything has manners ..even wars.Killing innocent civilians cannot be justified.
