We must work at
finding peace.  Real peace only comes with understanding, via education, not
with supplying guns and ammo to either side to escalate the violence.

Again I say to you, Dave, in all sincerity:  what if one party doesn't *want*
peace?  This is the dirty little secret we in the West are having such a hard
time understanding.  Of course everyone wants peace, right?  That's the goal of
any civilized society.  But we are not talking about "civil" people; we are
talking about people who murder innocents randomly and for what?  What do they
want?  Peace?  They want something, but peace isn't it.  I'll let you connect
the dots.


John,
Your whole thesis appears to be:
1) Arabs/Palestinians are uncivilised troublemakers.
2) Israel is a peace loving nation.
3) There is an international anti-Israeli media conspiracy which distorts
reality.

However, to date, you have produced nothing that backs your thesis as a
whole other than your own biased opinion. In short, you lack all credibility
on this issue.

Despite that, you are welcome to hold your opinions. What I don’t get is why
you hold them? Why do you ignore the truth? It is not even as if you offer a
different perspective on events, you just ignore reality and make wholly
unsubstantiated allegations.
