If the Palestinians want peace, all they have to do is lay down their weapons. They will have peace.
If the Israelis lay down their weapons there will be a bloodbath.

Enough warnings have been given in this and other threads.
Discuss the points, not each other.

A senior Foreign Ministry official told Haaretz that what would have been a mundane discussion turned into an "attack on Israel," lead by Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin along with the Indian, Brazilian, and South African representatives.
However, sources said that the assault wasn't limited to the representatives of those nations, with European UNSC members joining in as well. The only country reportedly not engaging in the unusual bout of criticism was the United States.
The discussion's focal points were the so-called "price tag" attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank; continued settlement construction; and claims that Israel refused to provide the Quartet with its stances on issues such as borders and security arrangements in a future peace deal with the Palestinians.
"The whole debate was conducted in a disgusting manner," a Foreign Ministry official with knowledge of the UNSC proceedings told Haaretz, adding that "Israel was assaulted with every minute detail, mentioning every mosque that was torched and arguing that state authorities weren't doing anything to stop settler attacks against Palestinians."

Here is another example of Israel picking and choosing which UN resolutions they acknowledge. They didn't like the findings in this study so they had to throw accusations of bias.
Israel officials: Security Council criticism on West Bank violence 'disgusting'

Israel sure considers themselves immune to any criticism, how dare the Palestinians worry about their mosques being burned. The racist and bigoted settlers should be allowed to continue with their senseless attacks, right?edit on 22-12-2011 by Corruption Exposed because: (no reason given)
Our purpose there is to protect the Jews, but they generate many of the problems. It's very confusing,' says combat soldier discharged last year. Recent attacks by right-wing extremists on Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the West Bank are just one manifestation of the violence to which many have been subjected during their service in recent years. Both regular and reserve soldiers, including junior officers, spoke about the complicated situation they find themselves in: having to protect the settlers while at the same time being attacked by them. "Our purpose there is to protect the Jews, but they generate many of the problems. It's very confusing," said Nadav Bigelman, a combat soldier who was discharged last year. "You understand pretty quickly what is going on, but it's not so clear what you are supposed to do about it," he said. "We never received an order telling us what to do when a Jewish boy throws stones at a Palestinian. Are we allowed to detain him or not? There's a gap between the battalion commander's instructions and what happens on the ground. "It's the same people who bring you cake when you're on guard at 2 A.M.," he added. "What, are you going to arrest their kid when he throws stones the next day?"

The land of Palestine does not exist today. Get over yourself. Palestine was a huge REGION back in biblical times and it wasn't called Palestine because it was occupied by Arabs. Palestine encompassed Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Parts of Iraq.
The Muslim Arabs in Israel were nomads or paid workers for the most part and they came from one of the above nations or an African one originally but hardly from Israel itself. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but no, the Jews did not invade or just all fly in and chase the poor Arabs out.
Since biblical times the Jews and Arabs have fought over that land no less that 50 times. The Jews own the land by default ownership and possession.
