Personally i think that Palestine and Isreal should work out things by themselves intill they ask for help.
Israel and Palestine....they have been fighting since before the Crusades! Palestine wants all or nothing...and Israel just wants larger and worse retaliation each time Palestine slaps them in the face....personally I think it's just petty fighting over a piece of land. then again, the history of the world has been centered around fighting over pieces of land, wealth, and power, has it not? Concerning Jerusalem, a central city for both Israel and Palestine, why not a Berlin-type complex where Iraelies and Palestines sit down, like civilized people, and decide how to split the pie, and that goes for the rest of the land as well. How many people must die over a piece of dirt?

let me just asnwer the question that was posted for this thread with the following phrase: DAH. What do u mean should the U.N consider palestine as a state? Thats the whole point. Anyways. About the fact for both sides to sit down and talk it over like civilized people, i think thats easy for us to say. Both sides are born into this cycle of rage and mistrust, u cant just tell em to stop thinking like that and expect to jump up and hug each other. And jerusalem must remain an international territory under the auspicious of both sides but neither should have control over it.

Israel and Palestine need to get over themselves and sit down and come to some type of agreement... Ok i am sure this piece of land is important but by the time someone wins the fight for it there will be no one left to enjoy it. And why can't they live there together? is that such a hard concept? We do it here in america I am sure they coulod learn to do it too.

They can not live together _because_the_Israelis_do_not_want_to_live_together! The entire history of Israel is one of uninterrupted, naked aggression against the indigenous peoples of the Middle East!
I agree with Macsucks completely. I also agree with Ben_17_1 that Israeli's don't want to live with anyone else, but I think that's also true for Palestinians as well.
I disagree with MagDee023 that the land should be split down the middle like it was in Berlin. The Berlin wall was a terrible experiment. Imagine waking up in Aug. 1961 and finding out that a wall had been put through the middle of your city! I spent a week in Berlin last year, and no one I spoke to thought of that as a happy time for Berlin or Germany. That violates people's basic human rights as well.
The UN should consider Isreal and Palestine as states, because that's what they are.

i may seem ignorant, but i thought that the UN already considered palestine a stae. i didn't, but i was recently at a model UN conference, and palestine was represented on its own.
i think that it's ridiculous that they can't live with each other. but to blame one side more than the other is dumb. they are both just as guilty. which side killed more people, or which side "started" it has nothing to do with it though. the fact that neither side is doing anything to stop the violence makes them both equally as guilty.
i don't understand why they can't just live with each other, but i think that it is currently getting to the point where they both need to be given their own corner (like small children).
