What if Israel decides to leave will there really be peace?

What are yuor thoughts. Many say the reason the middle east is unstable is the existence of Israel. What if they decided to evacuate the region. Of course this is an impossibility since people want to hold their religious identity and they believe it is in the land. Opinions on what would occur if Israel decides to move else where and far away from the middle east

Given that all of the organizations that are trying to destory Israel have, as their stated objective, the destruction of Israel, it means they will no longer have anyone to try to destroy, and so will then stop trying to Israel.

Will that bring peace?

As they seem pretty happy to fight themselves, I doubt it.

That too will be Israel's fault, of course.

No it wouldn’t bring any peace because you would soon see a battle between the Sunni and Shiite. Or battles between Islamic and non-Islamic states.

How would the Middle East be without Islam?

There is no doubt that the zionist movement which re-populated Palestine with a jewish population and the creation of a jewish state in the holy lands area has been both a local and international source of tension and conflict which would substantially be diminished. Unnecessary antagonism between the US and the Muslim ME would probably be diminished. It wouldn't be the end of conflict though.

I propose we give the Jews Texas as a homeland. : D It's kind of a dry semi-arid area like the Palestine area, has lots of room, and the other 49 states of the union would be better off.

Ummm. Thanx but no thanx. Besides being already occupied, Texas is also in hurricane alley.

I know, Afghanistan is technically not in the Middle East, but they gave an example about having like 25 years of civil war with virtually all people there are being Muslims.

You MIGHT have a point if you proposed giving wRONg Paul's Texas district to the Native Americans or the Mexicans. After all they, like the Jews, had maintained a sizable and continuous unbroken history of living in the respective areas (Israel & Texas) and calling it their home.

And to your question, no, there would be no peace.

The Qu'ran commands Muslims to rest not until Allah is the sole worshiped God. This injunction is basically a theological mandate of never-ending expansion and dominance... by force if necessary.

Expansion to the whole world.

Once the Palestinians were no longer occupied there many would come here.

There is probably only one Jewish person living in Afghanistan and his name is Zablon Simintov. He was a carpet trader, but he lost his business in 2001 when the Taliban attacked it, so now he takes care for the Synagogue in Kabul.
