Lack of peace for Israel, Palestine, Gaza, West Bank

Post a Problem
Hatred, fear, and death are part of everyday life in this region. The problem is that all known solutions do not work. We are after some innovative solutions here. In 3 years of cease fire, Hamas has not built schools and hospitals and infrastructure but has built rockets and fired them. Hamas continues to use, and the Palestine continue to allow, and Arab and muslin nations continue to sanction the using of the public as human shields. Hamas has stored rockets in Mosque basements and fired rockets from the middle of refugee camps.
