Two conditions:

(1) The Palestinians must release the Israeli soldier, Cpl Gilad Shalit,
who was captured by militants in June.

(2) And they must set up a national-unity government committed to
recognising Israel and renouncing violence.

Sounds civilized and reasonable, let's see if those 2 qualities are
mirrored by the other side.

Do the Palestinians get to set pre-conditions too?

Or would that be 'uncivilised' of them?

Let's wait and see, Mikey. We will have answers for these questions in a few days.

I do not like war (unlike you), so I really, really hope the middle east finds peace soon.

It won't work just like Oslo didn't.

This is absolutely reasonable, provided that:

1) Israel withdraws from the occupied territories and dismantles all illegal settlements.

2) Israel pledges never to invade Palestinian territory again.

Sound like a plan!

Let's get going!

Funny that you'd say that considering last time I tried mentioning the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict you accused me of being a wikipedia baby and copy pasting.

Actually I didn't get any of my information from Wikipedia and I do know what I'm talking about.

And I do love how this thread has no actual debate posed in the first post.

Let’s not forget the Palestinians offered a truce and was flatly refused by Israel a few days ago. But now all of a sudden it is Israel that has offered a truce and accepted by the Palestinians.

Preconditions of the so-called Palestinians:

1) All Jews in Israel must convert to Islam.
2) Those who do not must slit their throats or march into the sea.

Your ignorance is apparent again.

Go find out what proportion of Palestinians are actually Muslims, and you'll understand how stupid your post is.

Last time I checked, the mission statement for Hamas still calls for the destruction of Israel.

Did it call for throat-slitting and sea-marching-into?
