No viable peace is going to hold until Israel settles on formal boundaries that they won't violate. Hamas gets a lot of support because they can just point to the illegal Israeli settlement over yonder and tell you with 100% certainty that your house is gonna be on the next expansion list

Netanyahu and other officials who didn't take part I'm the discussiond already denounced the agreement and said there would be no pause to the settlement construction. It's in the article.

We promise to throw one less brick. (Still has a pile of millions of bricks)

This is not reflected by an objective analysis of how the attack was performed.

Hey maybe if they pinky promise it’ll work this time lol.

There are plenty of secular motivations behind the actions of both sides. Blaming religion just obfuscates that fact.

I’m tepidly encouraged that the Palestinian Authority is finally negotiating with scarce regard for Gaza and Hamas’ input. If a peace plan were ever to emerge I genuinely hope the PA won’t have to greatly oppress the citizens of their new state to swallow and accept the deal especially under the existing huge dark cloud of PA illegitimacy. That’d only benefit Hamas and the other steadfast hothead militants they’re in competition with.

I’ve said for a long time here that no viable peace prospects between Israel and whatever Palestinian state may form will have any legitimacy without Jordan dedicating some of their own land across the river from the West Bank to this new Palestinian national entity. It is only right and proper. Needs to be part of any deal to put an end to Jordan playing the silly children’s game of being first in saying “Not It!” in relation to the Arabs in and around both the East and West Bank of the river.

Because it’s expensive up front to do so, even though over time it’d be far cheaper than what they’re doing now.

That's what's messed up for me. They decide that having takeout delivered to a murder scene was too risky so they decide to make some human stew?

The USGS tracker usually has a Modified Mercalli intensity map when there's enough data.

Well, it would be kind of weird if only part of the bed shook. I think that would freak me out a bit.

I never thought much of them until 1989. That one got my attention.

You got that right. Brick houses are definitely not what you want to be in during an earthquake. You don't even want to be sleeping in the living room next to a brick chimney.

There's moose hunting seasons??

One of the sides (Hamas) didn't even show up, and criticized the PA for talking to Israel.

If the general public in Israel stopped kowtowing to the religious radicals it would be a good start.
