Here's a scenario: What if Israel when back to the 1940's land-scale, it gave up whatever land it had captured in subsequent wars and withdrew into itself. Do you think the suicide bombings and attacks would stop, or would those radical Islamic groups still stay true to their cause of wiping her off the map?
1) I don't see how that makes it better.
2) I still feel the blame is on both sides. The Hamas does try to disguise themselves as civilians, but that's understandable, as they'd otherwise be dead immediately...and it's not like Hamas starts everything and Israel are just the poor, reacting good guys...they stir their own amount of shit.
[edit] I don't know, I believe the problem is big because of the different Religion Israel has to the others in the Region, so there would be a problem...would it be as bad as it is now, i.e. would there be as much suffering, not sure...maybe not...anything could have happened there, really.
