Israelis are tough guys, under their political hawks` leadership they won`t alleviate Arabs` plight in Gaza strip as long as the latter vow to destroy Israel.
Arabs won`t give up, either, because they are also tough guys. For them Israel has no right to exist.
Both sides will continue provoking and harassing each other. Arabs won`t destroy Israel, Israel won`t convince Arabs to ease up on their belligerent stance.
I am a pessimist here.

Poland’s foreign minister says that his government supports the EU’s call for an international investigation into the Israeli attack against a Turkish convoy bringing aid to Gaza Palestinians, killing at least ten.
"The whole world calls for a clarification,” said Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski after talks with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Warsaw, Monday.
“The next step will depend on how well, and convincingly, the Israeli authorities explain what happened,” he added.
He declined to say, however, whether Poland would follow the footsteps of Sweden and Spain, among others, and ask the Israeli ambassador to this country to provide explanations.
Head of EU diplomacy, Catherine Ashton said that the European Union will seek an international investigation into the matter. She also appealed to Israel to open its border with Gaza, so that Palestinians living there will be able receive humanitarian assistance.
John Clancy, spokesman of the European Commission, said that the EU has appealed to Israel to put an end to the three-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.
“The continued policy of closing off Gaza is unacceptable and politically counterproductive. The EU reiterates its call for immediate, sustained and unconditional opening of crossings into Gaza to allow for the flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from Gaza.”
Israelis say that they were attacked when boarding craft on its way from Cyprus to Gaza, 60 kms off the coast in international waters. . Those on the boats say that Israeli troops opened fire without any provocation by the aid workers and supporters of Palestinians.
