I don't believe in killing, period, so I'm in favor of peace all the way around.

My mom said something similar the other day when we were talking about this (and also about the 7 signs of the end of the world...or whatever its called). According to my mom, the Israel from biblical times was just as vicious as present-day Israel, so their actions shouldn't be a surprise.

Secularization? Not gonna happen. It might be better for Israel to do it (since all 3 religions are very prevalent in Israel) but Palestine is ruled too much by Islam to be able to separate them.
There might be some kind of "peace" if Israel would just do what they say and stops occupying Gaza & the West Bank.
