Why unconditional love doesnt fit any longer

I was not startled when I heard the news that Israel along with its allies was going to impose a full scale embargo against the new elected Palestinian government led by Hamas back in 2006, it was a matter f time before they do it. Hamas or the Islamic resistance movement formed in the intifada era has always been labeled as terrorist and known as the archenemy of the Jewish State. They have always been boasting with plenty of reasons starting with the fact that Hamas didn’t recognize the very existence of Israel till the rockets Israel claim have been repeteadly launched against Israel, I don’t have any idea how please Israael was when Hamas won the 2006 democratic election, it was the hole Israel hope the Palestinians will eventually fall into, because then Israel would be able to use it as an excuse to impose a collective punishments toward the Palestinians.
Throoughout history of modern world sanctions,embargo, or blockade have been a common ways used by the first world countries in the name of change for the targeted countries,North Korea,Libya,South Africa,Myanmar are the examples of countries that were given sanctions(some still are). They all have the common red line that is they has the possibility of threatening regional even international peace and stability(or at least the is what the first world countries allege) and in some other cases even the domestic affair can be good enough like as for the South Africa where the practice of Apartheid used to be implemented there. Now as the Israel is now led by a right-wing coalition(with likud and the new major player Yisrael Beitnu) and Netanyahu as the prime minister, a question popped up should Israel now also be givern sanctions, a questions affirmed by a recent Israeli defiance to its grand ally-US- with respect to the Jewish St\ettlements in West Bank and Netanyahu resistance to endorse the idea of an independent Plaestiunian State.
Lets analyze the first argument , is Israel the main hindrance of the peace prospect in the Middle East?FIs\rst we cannot 1turn a b;ind eye towards The Jewish Settlements in The West Bank For the Palestinians it means more and more of their already shrunk land being illegally taken, it signifies the possibility that instead of welcoming their long lost brothers and sisters(who were forced to leave their homerland in the eve of the Israel Estalishment) rthey are too going to become the new refugees like in the case recently occurred when in order to support the settlement the Israeli court granted the wish for its citizen to banish six Arabs who live in the East Jerusalem. So the bottom line for the Palestinians The widening Jewish settlement is everything. But wait not only for the Palestininans but even for the entire Arab League it bears such an immense important, as has been agreed and stated in the 2006 Arab Peace Initiative that they will recover the diplomatic and trade relations with Israel in return for the Israeli withdrawal from the land they took after the 1967 war , and supporting even letting this settlements to grow bigger is completely contradictory to the message from the peace initiative because settlements take more Palestinians land.
Not only the problem with settlement, but even the goal of the whole peace road map-i.e. two independent states live side by side- is in the great danger when Netanyahu stated in his latest visit to the White House that although he will try to negotiate but he he wont endorse the idea of an independent Palestinian State. By no menas peace shall be retrieved in that land of constant turmoil, when Israel denies the basic right of the Palestinians to have their own independent state
