    Hamas and the terrorists are still supported by the people since Israel is still trying to expand and colonize Palestine further. The wall is often placed deep within what is officially palestine territory and there are several places entirely within palestine territory that are still occupied. Like Hebron, 400 settlers, 1100 soldiers to guard them.
    No wonder the Palestians are still andry and still feel like they are fighting a war.

    The Israeli government is imo still supported since they convinced the Israeli people that if they weaken for just the tiniest amount, they will all be killed by angry Arabs. Have you ever seen footage of Israeli soldiers guarding the wall ? Most of the ones I saw looked embarresed to be there. They have to be inhuman towards kids (who are not allowed to go the hospital if their papers aren't perfectly in order, even if they're bleeding half to death), and imo it kills most of them inside. I've heard a mother of a young man who was killed in a suicide attack say that she understands where the hatred from the Palestinians come from.

    Both sides feel they have to be strong and tough, both sides support cruel and violent regimes. They have more in common than they'd ever want to admit

    Oh, by making unilateral concessions like withdrawing from Gaza?

    The question is whether it was a strategic move to withdraw from Gaza or a humanitarian one. I would guess the former.

    From my reading, it seems that Israel won't really buck and if the government was to do so, their parliament would prevent such a move eventually by electing another. Let's face it, there are extremists on both sides. In fact, the Israeli (government) will not even let Palestinian refugees to return to their homes because "they would out number us poor Jews and destroy our notion of Jewish state". Well, go figure, drive them off their land and then say they cannot come back because then the occupiers wouldn't be the absolute majority anymore.

    Going further, I wonder what would have happened if nations hadn't gone gung-ho blocking Palestine off, cutting aid and supplies after they democratically and in a non-rigged election voted Hamas into power. I imagine if the freedom-loving Western nations had stood by them regardless of their differences, there could be prospects for peace, but unfortunately there are lobbies and certain loud voices that would have caused some to not be re-elected, eh?
