Title:Start the international peacemaking ball rolling, the only option

At this point Israel`s mistaken and criminal reactions to Hamas` criminal provocatikns has only dug the hole deeper in which Israel is trapped. Israel will now never get out without international assistance, which is inescapable due to the global threat now posed by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the rise of Israel`s threats of attacking Iran, backed by Russia, leading to military confrontation between Russia and her allies against America and Israel. The bitterness and conflict has spread globally, precisely as 9/11 was the direct result of Israel`s OCCUPATION, by admission of the 9/11 terrorists themselves: the premiere cause celebre for terrorism and extremism world-wide.

Therefore the OCCUPATION has become a global cancer, which the international community can no longer deal with "hands-off".

Israel could have avoided both the Lebanon and Gaza wars by adopting the unimpeachable Arab League Peace Plan, which remains the only option for Israel`s peace and survival.
