A background to Middle East peace - 23 Sep 07

Nazis were defeated, Zionists (occupying Palestine) will be defeated.

[bbproductionsLA]

I just can't shake it out of my head. It seems like madness to me, I see the Israeli flags and it seems like they are trying to make peace with Nazis while they are still gassing Jews, Israel is still murdering and oppressing Palestine

[JusticeFish82]

More like keeping you in Ghettos. If it was gassing the Palestinians they would've died off 40 years ago instead of growing to over 5 million in Israel and the occupied territories. Fact of the matter is Israel probably isn't going to go away without a good chunk of the middleast with it so you gotta ask yourself, is pride and vengeance worth a hundred million lives?

justice...

is it better to live on your knees or die standing on your feet?

[JusticeFish82]

Don't know as it's often people that wish to die standing that are responsible for causing others to live on their knees.

Let me ask you, what is more important standing itself or where it is that you stand?

[bbproductionsLA]

I guess standing or where you're standing would depend on the individual and my personal answer wouldn't really reflect all humanity.

Example, some people wouldn't mind living on their knees as long as they are alive, but some would rather die. Personally I'd rather die fighting to stand. Personally standing where my roots are deep and my entire history exists is important. some wouldn't mind moving. Compromise is necessary.

The first step would be a complete cease of expansion of settlements. That's the most detrimental roadblock for negotiations which Israel never addressed and continues to violate the international laws.

[14842]

Talks with Hamas accepting his legal right of political party will lay down his arms. Than a new border must be made Jews in Jerusalem in the south and the Palestinians have the north. And shut have rights to visit the holy sites with some kind of visa.

[14842]

Talking won't solve any thing, we need action. Only the UN and the international community can help bring peace if they play a bigger role.

In helping the Palestinians, who are terrorised and traumatized by the Jews and Jerusalem over all these years. Jerusalem must give its weapons over to the UN and the UN needs to have a permanent base.

[kritzykins]

Hey I agree. However please replace the word "jews" with the word "Israelis". I know a lot of Jews who don't agree with the situation going on there at all. It's a dangerous generalisation, like saying because Bush is Christian (apparently) all Christians illegally attacked Iraq (which is untrue as even the pope condemned it) or saying that all Muslims are terrorists who want the destruction of the west. This is simply not true.

Language like that has a dangerous effect, be careful what you say.
