The current full-scale invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces, once again exposes the complete powerlessness of such movements as Hamas, when it comes to challenging Israeli military might. The fact that the Palestinians, in general are too weak to be a major threat to the state of Israel was acknowledged years ago, by Israeli leaders. That was why the two-state solution became acceptable to those leaders.

However, such organizations as Hamas have retained their ability to threaten Israel with terrorist acts and missiles, giving some credence to the empty rhetoric from Arab militants, and Iran about destroying the state of Israel. For Hamas, especially, what the rhetoric amounts to is a declaration that it could destroy Israel with fire-crackers.

Is any Arab state willing to declare war on Israel, for its current incursion into Gaza? No. Will Iran, fire missiles into Israel in support of the Palestinians in Gaza? Of course not. The Arabs and the Palestinians are too weak, to achieve any of their aims in the Palestinian territory with force. Given that fact of life, the Israeli mission in Gaza might force the Arab states and Iran to accentuate their policies to promote the two-state solution, and to hold the international community responsible for fully implementing it in short order. That opens up an opportunity for the in-coming Obama administration, to succeed where the disastrous Bush team failed so miserably.

Arab populations might begin to view all of the empty bluster from Arab states, Iran and militant organizations for what they really are. On its part, the world community, and the UN Security Council in particular, should seize this opportunity to commit a peace-keeping force to the border region between the Palestinian territories and Israel. Yes: the illegal expansion of Israeli settlements around the territories makes that task quite messy, but the Israelis have been open to scaling back those settlements. The international community should use carrots and sticks to enforce a final settlement of this age-old conflict under the principles of the two-state solution.

I thank you.

Fubara David-West.

I fail to recognise how on Earth this might lead to peace. And "Israelis have been open to scaling back those settlements" - I certainly beg to differ. Do you understand what this criminal and crazy use of power from IOF is doing? What would you expect from a Palestinian children whose family has been killed in front of his eyes...will he be willing to have 'peace' with Israel.
It's also nothing to brag about that Israelis (packed by US) are strong while Arabs are weak. It's only a disgusting reality in a loathful forest-style world.
While Hamas genicidal rockets has killed 20 people in the past 8 years, IOF has killed 650 in the last 10 days.
Have a look on what this insider has to say: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/07/gaza-israel-palestine
