Otherwise how do explain the fact that the arab countries have been using the Israel excuse for 60 years now - so not to deal with the real internal issues in their own country???<BR/><BR/>The answer to peace today is not by creating a Palestinian State but by make an autonomy that would be under Israeli control - that will help them develop and make them into a sucsesful place. Of course they will neve agree to it - although I think that if we pound the heads of the PA hard enough (what we are doing today isn't close to it), we can get them out of here, and then start dealing with the local population - meaning take care of them to make thier life better. <BR/>I am working on an idea now (as I said based on the GFA) and I will let you know when I am done. who knows maybe there will be peace after all..Oleh Yahshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755940933304791751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462867.post-1152496010550951692006-07-09T21:46:00.000-04:002006-07-09T21:46:00.000-04:00Well, I don't like the idea that we should be maki...Well, I don't like the idea that we should be making someone in to the scapegoat of the muslim world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462867.post-1152493004395015482006-07-09T20:56:00.000-04:002006-07-09T20:56:00.000-04:00I believe that Israel is a stablizing force.Hatred...I believe that Israel is a stablizing force.<BR/><BR/>Hatred of Israel is the one thing that unites the Arab world.

It did not exist before and thus won't exist ever. The ONLY way to achieve a better future for ALL - is to look at the future and what one wants outta it. <BR/><BR/>Does somebody wanna die for obtaining more land? Holding on to any land already in their possession? Or, do all involved shed off their ideology cloaks and start to think about living and the future of one's children?<BR/><BR/>Personally I'm quite disgusted about "my own" government allowing settlers to harress Palestinians and for building on lands (around J'lem) that they just confiscate. I would like to shout out STOP THIS!!!!! It is not fair! But, I can't. I can't because opposite those settlers I see Palestinian terrororganizations that seem to control the whole of the Palestinian society and are after COMPLETELY erasing Jewish existence from this land. Then, for me, I think facing up to those terrorgroups and protecting one's life is more important.<BR/><BR/>That's how I see Palestinians shooting themselves in their own feet because I truely believe there are loads of other Israeli's that for the cause of peace for ALL! and equality (also in spreading the land) for ALL wanna stand up and "fight" with the peaceloving Palestinians together - soon as they are not the target of Palestinian terror themselves anymore.<BR/><BR/>Tse.Tsedekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197166460626766894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462867.post-1152444638541983632006-07-09T07:30:00.000-04:002006-07-09T07:30:00.000-04:00Steven, GFA - Good Friday Agreement - was the peac...Steven, <BR/>GFA - Good Friday Agreement - was the peace deal signed between the IRA and the british Govt. <BR/>It resolve a close to 70 years of conflict between Northern Ireland and the UK, and says that NI will stop trying to achieve independance and in return will create a power Sharing System in NI for the Local Population. <BR/>I have been reading up about it recently due to University paper I wrote about Self determanation, and have concluded that this might be our best chance for peace. I am planning on writting about it in my Blog (French Hill) - so stay tuned!Oleh Yahshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755940933304791751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462867.post-1152382766358838442006-07-08T14:19:00.000-04:002006-07-08T14:19:00.000-04:00Steven, Your question at what cost is actually dir...Steven, <BR/>Your question at what cost is actually directly attached to the "Is" Question. <BR/>Of course peace is possible - If all Israelis move out of Israel and desmantle it there will be peace. Or if we go back to the Days of being 2nd Class Citizins. <BR/><BR/>Do I think there will ever be peace?? ya there will be and the cost question can also be turned towards the Palestinians. The problem is that what each side wants from the other is 2 big to bridge (at least today). I have answers to this, but they will never be accepted (one is using the GFA - Northern Ireland concept)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462867.post-1152368735853922602006-07-08T10:25:00.000-04:002006-07-08T10:25:00.000-04:00Steven,GREAT COMMENT.

But even giving up the entirety of Israel to the Palestinians would not ensure peace - I believe that would only lead to a Palestinian civil war.Red Tulipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546144713477594777noreply@blogger.com
