Those comments are not what I was referring to...I believe the comments section scrolls a little funny...At the time I saw the comments I mentioned, they might have become buried or removed by the website...
The Hamas Palestinians are reaping what they’ve sewn for years of stupid moves on their part...
Granted, I believe the Israeli govt. has done a lot to irritate the situation as well...The everyday Israeli and Palestinians are not as contentious as one would be led to believe, but during times like this, those very people do tend to give each other some space to work things out, till the time comes that the forces arrayed against each other get the kinks out and settle down...
The common knowledge is that this is never, ever going to get ironed out completely...No matter how sweet the deal is...
BTW, if you are wondering how I came up with my conclusion, I happen to work directly with a hodgepodge of individuals whose opinion I hold in high regard...And when we get to talking, you’d think I would be the one getting beat up...nahhh...
That group (all over here on work visas) is comprised of an Israeli, a Palestinian Christian, Iranian, and a couple of Indians (one a Sihk, and the other a Hindu)
You can imagine what my Monday morning os going to be like...
Yes, your Monday morning is going to be "interesting". :)

I guess I must not have been following this as closely as yourself, however, it seems to me that Israel in giving up the Gaza to the Palestinians has FAR more generous and to the 1964 Treaty than any other nation involved. Which makes the Israelis quite generous from my perspective. Yes, yes... Hamas militants do not see this quite the same way. And nor do their American professional protestors....
