Do of course remember that Israel will not accept a ceasefire unless the rocket fired by Hamas , who by the way Don't seem particularly concerned about the loss of civilian life , come to an immediate end.
The ball is clearly in Israel's court. They are the only ones who could end the conflict, but they do not want to. I am afraid that it is the Israeli's that want the conflict to continue, because it is a fact that their action in the Gaza Strip will only motivate HAMAS and other Palestinians to continue their rocket attacks on Israel.
The Palestinians have been under constant siege. They are unable to trade, and even the passage of vital medicines into Gaza is severely restricted. They have a GDP output of $600.00 per capita, ranking the Palestinians people amongst the most impoverished in the world.
I have read that the early Zionists were in actual fact looking at Cyprus as an option of declaring their state. If this occurred, and Jews were migrating to Cyprus buying all the land and then enforcing all Cypriots into enclaves about the size of the British SBAs, then I am positive the Cypriots would behave in much the same way as the Palestinians are today. If the Jews had stolen all our lands and dignity, then you are left with no option but to fight and resist.
My dear friend , can you please try and explain why is it that the Israelis are at war in Gaza at the moment , why the blockade , why the wall.
Please try and explain what you think is the reason , and do try to leave out such rubbish like the Jews wanting Cyprus as their promised land.
Israel exists , that is an indisputable irrefutable fact . How can this existence be at peace with the Palestinians .
How do you think the Israeli public would respond if Israel at war in Gaza at the moment was purely there for any other reason that stopping the daily barrage of rockets launched by Hamas.
What would you do if you were the Israeli Prime Minister.
Rubbish like jews wantingCyprus as their promised land?
Oh really?

Israel exists - so does trnc which is not internationally recognised - just like the illegally occupied parts of Palestine are not recognised as israeli territory.
Instead of killing innocent Palestinians israel should offer to negotiate the return of illegally held territory and abandon the West Bank settlements - peace would ensue.
