Peace in Israel (825)
SilverBirch: The settlements are at center stage in the impass between the Palestinians and Israeli. The settlements are viewed as illegal by the international community. Israel disputes this. Never is there anything said as to the true legality of this portion of the debate.
What are the two positions and which one has more merit?

Clinton Says Mideast Peace Talks Must Grapple with Core Issues
Washington - At this point in the Middle East peace process, the United States believes it is time to grapple with the core issues of the conflict: borders and security, settlements, refugees and Jerusalem, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says.
(Media-Newswire.com) - Washington — At this point in the Middle East peace process, the United States believes it is time to grapple with the core issues of the conflict: borders and security, settlements, refugees and Jerusalem, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says.
Both sides have said they want the United States to continue its peacemaking efforts, so the negotiators will push the Israelis and Palestinians to lay out their positions on the core issues without delay and with specificity, Clinton said.
“It is no secret that the parties have a long way to go and that they have not yet made the difficult decisions that peace requires,” Clinton said December 10 in a dinner speech at the seventh annual Institution, a Washington-based policy research center. “And like many of you, I regret that we have not gotten farther, faster in our recent efforts.”
Clinton emphasized the long-held U.S. position that there is no alternative to reaching mutual agreement.
She said however that the international community will become more active in their participation is the stalemate continues.

Hamas leader says group will never recognize Israel
Reuters
By Nidal al-Mughrabi Nidal Al-mughrabi – 1 hr 47 mins ago
GAZA (Reuters) – A large crowd of Palestinians cheered a Hamas leader's pledge on Tuesday never
to recognize Israel and celebrated the Islamist movement's 23rd anniversary at a Gaza rally
punctuated by sonic booms from Israeli jets.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, whose group runs the Gaza Strip, said the Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO) headed by Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas had made a "historic mistake"
by recognizing Israel.
"We said it five years ago and we say it now ... we will never, we will never, we will never
recognize Israel," Haniyeh told the gathering which some organizers said was attended by around
250,000 people.
Haniyeh had raised speculation last month about a change in Hamas's charter, which calls for
Israel's destruction, by suggesting the group could accept a referendum on any peace treaty
giving the Palestinians a state on land Israel captured in a 1967 war.
But he said such a truce would entail "no recognition of Israel and no concessions over any part
of the land of Palestine."
In his speech, Haniyeh challenged critics and local surveys which said Hamas's popularity was in
decline over poor governance in Gaza.
He voiced confidence that Hamas, which defeated Abbas's long-dominant Fatah movement in a 2006
election and seized the Gaza Strip in 2007 from forces loyal to the Palestinian leader, would win
any future ballot.

Israel should comply with UN Resolution 242 calls on Israel to withdraw to the Green Line (1967 Borders) in exchange for peace.
It is obvious this will not happen Israel does not answer to anyone especially not the UN, when Iraq defied UN resolutions the country paid the price, but Israel defies 1000s and get away with it

If the Palestinians had agreed with 181 then do you think Israel would not have stolen Arab land drawn up in resolution 181
