If by stop, you mean "ceasefire", then it is quite easy. Each side periodically signs such documents, usually with an Arab State like Egypt negotiating.
If by stop you mean "harmonious peace", then there are a variety of preconditions that each side has that the other is not terribly inclined to follow. Gaza would require that Israel remove the blockade, promote the Palestinian Right of Return, Israeli Withdrawal to the 1949 Boundaries, and Recognition of the Palestinian State. Israel would require the immediate demilitarization of the Palestinian Territories, accepting of the 1949 borders with land-swaps in agreed upon places, and accepting Israel's Right to Exist as Jewish Democratic State.
What else can I help you with?
When did Israel raid the flotilla?
because Israel had to keep the blockade on the Gaza strip- there were already several times that Israel caught ships and boats with tons of rockets and other weapons -while those boats were disguised as something else. Israel offered the flotilla to board at an Israeli port 20 km from Gaza -where the supply will be checked and then transferred to Gaza but the flotilla refused for hours, ones they were about to enter the Territorial water of Gaza, Israel had to stop them.
When will the killing in Gaza Stop?
The answer depends on whether you take a Palestinian viewpoint or an Israeli viewpoint. Palestinians allege that Israel is occupying the Gaza Strip and in so doing murdering Palestinians. Israelis allege that they would prefer to leave Gaza alone, but are drawn into the conflict by the constant barrage of rockets and attacks. The bottom line is that the killing will not stop until both sides are willing to accept a peaceful solution to the conflict.
When did US aid to Israel stop?
It has not stopped. Israel is a recipient of US foreign aid, in the form of grants and loan guarantees. Other current recipients of US foreign aid include Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, India, Russia, West Bank and Gaza.

Is Gaza to blame for Operation Cast Lead or is Israel?
Depending on who you ask, Israel or Gaza can be responsible.Gazan Perspective: It's Israel's FaultIsrael broke the peace treaty and subsequently launched operation 'Cast Lead' a massive military offensive against a civilian population. It banned foreign press from entering Gaza. It used white phosphorus (a chemical weapon) on UN sanctioned hospitals and schools (a war crime). Within 23 days the death toll had reached 1,284 Palestinians dead, 6 IDF by enemy fire and 3 IDF by friendly fire. When the operation had finished Israel had claimed more land from the Gaza strip in the name of security zones for their protection.Israeli Perspective: It's Hamas' FaultHamas failed to control both its own militants and those of the group Islamic Jihad to abide by the terms of the hudna (ceasefire) that they had negotiated with Israel and did not seem interested in renegotiating. They fired large volleys of rockets repeatedly into Israeli territory. After growing Israeli resentment over the attacks, the Israeli government saw fit to use a military incursion to stop the rocket bombardments.

Why did Hezbollah not assist the Palestinians during the Gazan War of 2008?
Answer 1Hezbollah are based in Lebanon, although in reality they are from Iran and are of Iranian nationality. They live and work in Lebanon. Hezbollah is a milita and despite what most people believe, Hezbollah does not have absolute power over governments. That is, even Hezbollah and other militas can only do what the governments will allow them to do.The current Gaza crisis now in January 2009 is very similar to the Lebanon invasion of 2006. And it has been reported that other governments have not done anything to stop the Israeli bombing of Gaza. Hamas is also not helping the people in Gaza either. Also Gaza cannot be reached easily by other countries, as to get there one has to go Israel, and this is difficult. As Israel does not allow a lot of people into the country, people with Syrian or Lebanese passports and with passports from most other countries Arab and others who are not at peace with Israel or have not signed a peace treaty. Egypt and Jordan have, but even citizens of those countries cannot get into Israel. Egypt has closed its borders with Israel and Israel won't let anybody in or out now. Hezbollah and other militas cannot get into Israel anymore than anybody else can. They and other militas have been forbidden by the Lebanese government from intervening in any way.The Iranian government, who originally created Hezbollah, fears that if Hezbollah or other militas get involved in any way with the currant crisis, Israel will invade Lebanon again or even invade Iran or other Arab countries. As mentioned Hezbollah cannot go against the government,and also the country, Israel and Gaza is closed to outsiders.There for entry into or out of by the militas is impossible. Other governments want to help, but Israel is closed even to other governments. The Israelis have killed and arrested innocent people trying to help aid workers and reporters. So Gaza is out of reach for everybody and people in Gaza are trapped there, as they cannot get out.Answer 2There are a few reasons why Hezbollah has not assisted the Palestinians during the Gazan War of 2008.Lack of Access: Hezbollah has no naval craft and could not have made an amphibious landing in Gaza or Egypt to begin an offensive in Gaza against Israel.Avoiding an Invasion of Lebanon: Hezbollah is aware from the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that Israel is more than willing to hunt them down if they violate the UN Ceasefire Zone along the Israeli-Lebanese border to attack from Lebanon. Hezbollah may have packaged the war as a victory against Israel, but it was not interested in losing militants for no real benefit.Dead Body Propaganda: Hezbollah at its core is not interested in the Palestinians, but the eradication of Israel. Nothing makes Israel look worse than numerous civilian casualties in Palestine. As a result, they also choose to intentionally do nothing to prolong the fighting and increase the number of Palestinian deaths to humiliate Israel.Iranian Prohibition: Iran is more than happy to maintain the current Iranian-Israeli Proxy Wars, but Hezbollah's direct involvement in the Gazan War could spark a rise from mere proxy wars to actual war. Iran wishes to avoid conflict until a time when it could assure victory and has ordered Hezbollah to stand down.Notes on Answer 1There are a few assertions that Answer 1 makes that are false:Hezbollah is under the yoke of the Lebanese government: This has been proven to not be the case. When Hezbollah did not win the Lebanese elections later in 2009, they launched a military attack on the capital until parts of their vision were realized for Lebanon. While Hezbollah may take Lebanese laws into account, it is not bound by them.Gaza can only be reached by Israel: While this is the current political reality, it is not the geographic reality. Egypt maintains a border crossing at Rafah. However, Egypt, both under Mubarak and later under Morsi has kept the border closed. Egyptians are just as afraid of the Gaza Hamastan as the Israelis. However, there are numerous smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, so Hezbollah militants could get into Gaza if they really wanted to go.Israel's borders were closed: Israel's borders with all of its neighbors (Jordan and Egypt) remained open throughout the conflict. There may have been increased border procedures since the country was at war. The only borders that were under strict scrutiny were those with the Gaza Strip. Getting into and out of Israel was not a problem. Hezbollah would have a problem entering Israel since Lebanese, Syrian, and Iranian citizens cannot enter Israel (as their countries reject its legitimacy).

What are Israel's purposes for attacks against Hamas?
Israel-Hamas War: Accusations of White Phosphorus Bomb Use in Gaza The Israel-Hamas conflict has once again garnered international attention, this time over allegations of Israel's use of white phosphorus bombs in Gaza. White phosphorus is a highly controversial and internationally banned substance when used in populated areas due to its severe humanitarian and environmental consequences. The latest escalation in the conflict began when Hamas, the militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, launched a barrage of rockets into Israeli territory, targeting cities and communities. In response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted airstrikes in Gaza. Accusations of Israel's use of white phosphorus bombs surfaced after images and reports of the aftermath in Gaza began circulating. White phosphorus is a chemical compound that can cause severe burns, respiratory issues, and even death upon contact with the skin or inhalation. Its use in densely populated areas is widely condemned due to the potential harm it can cause to civilians. These allegations have raised significant concerns, prompting calls for investigations and international action. Israel has maintained that its military operations target Hamas militants and infrastructure, not civilians, but the use of white phosphorus in any capacity is considered a violation of international law. The conflict between Israel and Hamas remains highly complex, marked by longstanding grievances and political disputes. The international community continues to urge both parties to cease hostilities and seek a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis. As the situation unfolds, the allegations surrounding white phosphorus bombs serve as a stark reminder of the challenges and consequences of conflicts in densely populated areas, particularly in the context of the Israel-Hamas war.
Recent elections in Israel with it affect the relationship between palestine and israel?
The elections in Israel led to the victory of the extreme right (Benjamin Natanyaho). This elections led to a more tense relation between Palestine and Israel, and in fact, the world and Israel. The new Israeli government refuses international pressure to stop building the settlments in the West Bank. It pretty much affected negatively and transformed the conditions from bad to worse.
Why can't world take an action to against such cruel country like Israel?
Most of the world does not see Israel as a cruel country. What the world sees is a nation attacked by all its neighbors four times in its first twenty-five years of existence, fighting for its life. Only the Muslim world sees Israel as cruel. If Israel's neighbors would stop the efforts to destroy Israel, quit bombarding Israel, stop the suicide bombers, and indicate a willingness to live in peace, then the rest of the world would be more willing to react as the Muslim world does to Israeli actions. But, if the Muslim world would be willing to live in peace with Israel, the Israelis would not be doing anything to object to. Everywhere else in the world, at all times throughout history, when you start a war with somebody and lose, you take the risk of losing territory. In the 1967 war Israel captured the West Bank, the Golan Heights, Gaza and the Sinai. Israel gave back the Sinai decades ago, and returned Gaza to Arab control several years ago. And immediately Arabs in Gaza started firing rockets and mortar shells indiscriminately into Israel. If you want the world's sympathy, that is not how to go about getting it. For sixty-two years Israel has been willing to live in peace with the Arabs. When the Arabs are finally ready, then and only then will the situation change. _ _ _ _ _ _ The above answer is one side of the story, an important side, but ONE side none the less. Israel illegally took land, against the laws of the body which founded it, the U.N., and then gave back part of the land that they illegally took, saying that they sacrificed for peace where as they actually gave what was not theirs to begin with. But because of religious and economic ties to, and sympathy for Israel, the U.N., backed specifically by the U.S., we decided to let it slide. And the rockets are only the Palestinians fighting back, to regain the freedom of their brothers.
