Well I like to think that it will be resolved someday...Of course we can not expect it to be resolved in a few weeks.They have been fighting for 60 years,so it might take some time,but I think peace is possible...
Well Israel should stop pretending that is above international law and start respecting it.Israel should withdraw from all the occupied territories from 1967 ,they should recognize Palestinians right to exist and their right to an independent country and allow Palestinian refugees to come back.There are so many UN resolution concerning those things,but Israel ignores everyone of them...It's funny how Israel ask for recognition from the Palestinians when tha was already made once.In 1993 the Palestinians,through the PLO,have recognize Israel's right to exist in the border from 1967.They gave up more then 70% of the land they were entitled according to the partition plan from 1947...for peace and an independent country...Well guess we all see they got nothing in return...
And when it comes to violence,well both parts should stop it.The IDF keeps killing Palestinians ,the militant organizations keep revenging for those killing and it bring only more violence and death...

The conflict eventually will end up with a lasting peace. Its up to both people when they recognize the fact of future peace and the fact of living to gather and sharing the same land. Historically, many nations went through civil wars to have national peace. Look at USA or recently South Africa both have long history of wars and civil wars before lasting peace.
One state is the only answer to your question where Jews and Muslims and Christians live side by side under the state laws. There is no other solution all what we have are temporary solutions to the conflict which so far leads to more wars.

A true peace requires justice and equality. War is the opposite of justice.
For justice in this case, Israel needs to allow the right of return to Palestinians, those who were forced out at gunpoint or under threat of massacre in 1947 and later. Also restore farmland and property that they confiscated, or provide compensation for them. Of course, it will be difficult to compensate people for suffering an ethnic cleansing, for generations spent in exile and homes destroyed, and the resulting increase in poverty and in some cases starvation. A lot of forgiveness will be needed.
Israelis have been taught for years that everyone is trying to murder them. They need to get over it, and learn to live with anyone who is willing to live in peace with them. They need to acknowlege that a lot of the murderous activity by the Palestinians is simply vengeance for all the crimes committed by Zionists against the indigenous people. Some forgiveness will be needed.
Then everyone needs to be treated equally under the law.
I'm sure the vast majority of Palestinians would accept such a peace. The Israelis won't because they took the land and want to keep it, and the majority of Israelis don't want to live near Arabs whom they seem to think are lesser humans and not deserving of the same rights as Jews.

I don't think so. :\ Part of the reason of the conflict is mostly religious. Remember a few centuries ago, how Europe was very chaotic because of religion? How they waged war and punished those who didn't believe in the church? Hopefully, it'd be resolved, but if it does happen, it's not gonna be anytime soon.

It will never get better until the Palestine people who keep breaking their promises and mortar round these people in Israel.
As long as Palestine keep attacking the Israli people and cease to lay down their weapons, there will never be peace. When they gave up part of the west bank. They weren't satisfied, they wanted more and more. They can never be satisfied. Another reason why Israel went in and bombed Lebanon this last time is because infiltration of every tom dick and harry started sending rocket motars into Israel. What are they suppose to do. Just set there and take it? It is just a simple thing to resolve between the leaders. Stop fighting and respect each other's boundaries and get on with their lives.

i think there is a chance both want peace i have often mentioned Israeli peace groups in my answers to similiar questions that aside there is something i would like to know about the israeli palestinian situation since i do not know much about it but i have wondered if a combined state called israel-palestine would be possible maybe you or someone else could tell me if it is possible if it is then my idea is this why cannot they be both in it israelis would be palestinians and palestinians would be israelis they would be citizens of two countries simultaneously

well a few things need to be achieved on both sides.
in any agreement has to guarantee the sovernty and security of the state of Israel. Otherwise nothing will happen because Israel will fight to the death to stop it.
Also a viable Palestine state needs to be created, not only for the Palistians in the West bank and Gaza but for those in other Arab nations.
-The fact is the current two state solution will fail to meet both goals.
The reduction of 67' borders will leave the state of Israel vulnerable to attack
-Both Gaza and the West bank are densly populated and economicly poor. To create a state out of those areas and then expect the four million refugees in other nations to return will result in compleate economic colapse and widespread poverty and death. This is why the PA is against such an idea.
The only solution is to create a Palistian state elsewhere. My suggestion is the Sinai.
Granted this will require a lot of money to purchase it from Egypt, but I think if Israel and the EU as well as gulf cost nations step in it could easily be done.
Israel will then be responsible for paying restitution for those Palistians in West Bank who want to voluntarily move to the Sinai. As well as the Gulf states will pay the refugees in their nations to move their as well.
No one should be forced, but as I said pay them to move.
In the end it will create a viable state for both peoples.

Yes, EVERY conflict can be resolved, even if resolution seems impossible on the surface.
This particular struggle will probably be resolved through commerce and strict gun control, etc.....When the Palestinians realize that the Israelis can be trusted as friends and mentors all the fear and hatred will melt away. It's that simple.

It's pretty unlikely. The country has been invaded by many competing factions, all with their own agenda, over the millenia.
Both major parties are hardwired to fight as a reult of centuries of persecution and conflict.
Conflict is human nature. Big brains is good but prehistoric humans got to the top of the food chain by doing the violent but necessary thing.

STOP using American military aid to commit unlawful acts of terrorism, murder, and genocide against Palestinians and others in the territories which Israel illegally occupies.
Obey United Nations resolution 242. End occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights. End Israeli imperialism!
Obey United Nations resolution 194. Allow Palestinians to return to their homes: homes from which Israel drove them illegally over the past fifty-plus years.
Stop using torture as a matter of state policy.
Stop using assassination and murder as a matter of state policy.
Stop acts of terror which deprive Palestinians of their dignity, freedom, property, or lives without as much as the pretense of any due process of law.
Stop the institutionalized racism which treats non-Jews born in Israel as second-class citizens while denying them citizenship rights in their native land.
Allow true freedom of religion for people of all faiths in Israel.
Allow true freedom of speech and assembly for all people in Israel.
Stop building illegal settlements in the occupied territories.
Return all properties illegally seized in Jerusalem.
Recognize the existence of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Allow an international peace-keeping force into Gaza and the West Bank to provide for the protection of innocent Palestinians against acts of Israeli state-sponsored terrorism.
Accept responsibility for the fact that Israel's terrorist actions against the Palestinians and others are the direct cause of acts of terrorism against the United States!
The interests of the Jews do NOT outweigh the needs of the people of the world!
The freedom-loving people of the world are adamant that the Jewish state immediately cease its barbaric treatment of the people whose lands it occupies illegally!
Israel's continued genocidal actions leave us no alternative but to call for a total end to all American economic and military aid to Israel!
Failure to address these reasonable demands will be a tacit admission to the world that Israel is a terrorist state and that Jewish interests are bent on world domination and genocide against Palestinians, Muslims and people of European ancestry!
Then peace will come
