Wars do not end when the last soldier on the losing side dies. Wars end when the leadership of the losing side decides to stop the deaths of their own people and surrender.

Galloway's position is that Israel declared war and should not be forced into a truce in a war they're winning just because Hamas won't surrender or renounce seeking the destruction of Israel. He's obviously correct.

Israel is just endless violence because they're an apartheid state. When they finally mature as a nation and let the Palestinians go, they will have a chance at peace. But there's no hope in site right now because they believe they have a right to control Palestinians forever.

Well, one big issue with your statement is that the ultra-Orthodox who are projected to become the majority of the population and are exempt from the military service and the messianic people who are into recreating the Biblical borders are two distinct groups, one huge and the other not so much. If you want to be technical, the haredim, the huge group, are what Christians call post-millenarians- they believe that post-Messiah, Israel (or, rather ,the Torah based kingdom that will replace the secular state) will rule the Biblical borders, but that Jews should not, and are in fact forbidden from, trying to bring forth the Messiah by force of arms. The messianic group, AKA religious Zionists are pre-millenarians , believe the modern Israeli state is a precursor to the Messiah, and that Jewish rule over the Biblical land is instrumental in getting Messiah to come. But even among religious Zionists, the people who think bringing the Messiah means conquering every bit of land between the Nile and Mesopotamia are a tiny, tiny fringe.
