They have been doing it for generations and it has become a tradition.

They are never going to live in peace. They don't want to live in peace. The perpetual state of conflict defines their lives and gives them purpose, national identity, and something to fight for.
Let us accept that and instead look at problems WITHIN our country.
You don't think, perhaps, that we WITHIN this country share some responsibility for the situation? We've never sold arms to the middle east, for example?

HUNDREDS of people have taken to the streets of Southampton today in protest over the conflict in Gaza.

Chants of "Free Palestine" can be heard across the city centre as people make their voices heard over the ongoing crisis.

Hundreds of people have lost their lives in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians.

Daily Echo:

The Southampton demo marched from the Guildhall before ending at the BBC South headquarters.

Today’s protest saw significantly more protestors taking part in the march than a similar one on Tuesday.

Abdullah Catell, who organised the demo, said: "We are praying all the time for these people.

"We need to unite everyone, from all different political parties and faiths.

"This is not a lone protest - this is the start of a movement."
