Should International forces be sent to Israel to bring Peace there? |
Travel Info The division of the former British mandate of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel in the years after the end of World War II have been at the heart of Middle Eastern conflicts for the past half century. The creation of Israel was the culmination of the Zionist movement, whose aim was a homeland for Jews scattered all over the world following the Diaspora. After the Nazi Holocaust, pressure grew for the international recognition of a Jewish state, and in 1948 Israel came into being. Much of the history of the region since that time has been one of conflict between Israel on one side and Palestinians, represented by the Palestine Liberation Organisation, and Israel's Arab neighbours, on the other. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced, and several wars were fought involving Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

Travel Tips Sassy (hope you don't mind the nickname) The UN has been pressuring Israel for YEARS to be allowed to send a peacekeeping force. Israel has steadfastly refused, which is quite a strong indication that it wishes to keep it's Poor Little Me "victim" status alive and well. Israel doesn't want peace; peace would take away all Israel's so-called reasons for confiscating more and more Arab land. Not to mention that Israel doesn't want the rest of the world---the U.S. in particular---to witness its attempts to eradicate the Palestinian people. Others International forces in places like the West Bank and Gaza will only work if they actively disarm militant organizations. If an international force replaces the IDF in an area, but their are still armed groups that attack Israel via rockets or weapons fire at civilians then that international force will only become a human shield for those militants and exacerbate the problem not solve it. Yes but after Israeli withdrawal from all the occupied territories including Jerusalem.The International forces should stand on the border line of 67 to protect the Palestinian land they are the under dog not the Israeli who are confiscating Palestinian land by the hour. / http://www.palestiniantragedy.com/...... No. International forces in the Middle East have a bad track record; unless those forces are willing to put in the hard and dangerous work of disarming terrorists (including searching for them amond the civilian populace) then they wouldn't help at all. oh ........you should ask: Should international forces be sent to PALESTINE to bring peace there? the Palestine is Arab`s home & zionists occupy there. many counties in Middle east want finnish this war but some other countreis interfere &dont let them do this! the ones who help Israel destroy Labenon. we hope to have peace in our land(Middle east). International forces are worthless. If they had been effective, we would not have had the recent conflict with Lebanon. Israel tried to defend itself until an adequate peace force arrived in Lebanon, but it took weeks to get a partial force in place. I haven't seen anything about it in the news recently, but I doubt that the full force has ever arrived. The UN cannot be effective until the international community decides that they truly want peace in the area. The UN replaced the IDF at the Egyptian/Gaza border after Israel withdrew from Gaza, but they could only handle it a few weeks before they turned it back to the IDF because they were being attacked. 鈥淲e will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us鈥?
