HOLOCAUST = LIE

[fairyprincess1234]

That is no step towards peace...denial of such a horrible event, that did happen, is not a good start.

[pedrokahuku]

LIE

[shawry86]

wow your input is surely saving hundreds of palestinians lives

[warmperson2007]

I want to wish good luck to you people in Ramallah as well as in Tel Aviv. The real conflict is between you, -moderates and peace lovers-, and your leaders. It's not going to be easy but you will win at the end!

[sueteen]

well said!

Palestine should be a free country!

[dcat13]

There is no such thing as Palestine country. Never been. There is such thing as Palestine territories, (just like there was a Mesopotamian territory) that is belong to several nations and ethnic groups.

The Palestine people had many chances to create a country of they own. They constantly searching the complete destruction of all Jews in the area. This started even before the Second World War.

[dcat13]

They could establish a country anytime they wish. Why don't they do it? Because the leaders would loose power and income, and antisemitism would loose its power for the Muslim nations around. Syria, Iran and the Saudis will never let that happen. With peace, people start to think. And a thinking Arab is the end of religious and feudalistic dictatorships.

[beverly555]

There is no such thing as an "Israeli". These people belong in the countries they came from ie Poland, Russia, Ethiopia. I have never heard of a group of people having two lands One for their nationality and one for their religion.

[shawry86]

if you say that then you should also say there is no such thing as an american as that land was also occupied, this also mean i cant call myself english as my ancesters occupied this land.....what happend to the palestinians is awful, but saying israel has no right to exist doesnt help save the many palestinians still suffering today...all it does is lead to another generation of people who pick sides...grow up

[beverly555]

So, shawry, where would you draw the line? If the Mormons want a country because they feel they can't practice freely do they have the right to choose a country, kick the inhabitants out of that country and bring Mormons from all over the world to live in that country. That is what happened to the Palestinians. The jews (a religion) felt persecuted felt they can take a country , bring jews from all over the world and kick the inhabitants(Palestinians) out

[dcat13]

I never heard any Israeli leader saying that we will kill all Arabs and Muslims. Never!

But in Palestinian schools they teach the children to hate Jews and that one day they need to kill all of them.

One voice movement? Bull.. A new way to structure and collect more aid and money.

I feel sorry about the Palestinian people. They are puppets of they own leaders and the surrounding countries.

[alexkaplansky]

The magic words that Palestinians need to be willing to say is that they are willing to give up their right of return to the land they feel was taken from them in 1948. That will be painful for them, but as soon as they are willing to do that, Israeli public opinion will change very rapidly, and then there will be a peace agreement, that will actually work.

[beverly555]

Well actually the Palestinians have said many, many times they agree to the two state solution, that is an Israel and a Palestine). When will Israeli leaders agree to this? Instead, Israel keeps confiscating more and more Palestinian land via illegal settlements.

[alexkaplansky]

They always say they agree to a two state solution as long as it includes a 'just solution to the refugee problem'. That means Palestians should either be able to return to the homes taken from them in 1947/48 or accept monetary compensation. Unfortunately it's too late for that. In 1947 there were 700,000 Jews in Palestine; now there are 5,500,000. The clock can no longer be turned back, but Palestinians have not accepted that yet.

[hannahr77]

alex

by the grace there will never a 2 stats solution

[alexkaplansky]

OK, I agree that someday the world will all be at peace, and there will only be one country, and everyone will be free. But until that time we have to be practical; only a two state solution can possibly work in the short run. The alternative is complete destruction of the entire region.

[beverly555]

There are Palestinians who were born in Palestine, whose ancestors came from there and are now in exile. You are telling me a European or Ethiopian Jew who has no ties to the land has more of a right to live there than a person who has roots there?

[alexkaplansky]

No I'm not saying that. But remember that, at this point in time, 90% of the Jews in Israel were born and raised there. In order for the Palestinians to all go back to Palestine, most of the Jews living there would need to leave. It's not going to happen. Well, it will happen when all of North America is given back to the Native Americans? Are you American - then you're living on Indian land - you should really go back to Europe, or whereever you're ancestors came from.

[beverly555]

Though I feel for the Native Americans, what happened to the Palestinians was worse. The Native Americans were allowed to stay in their land; the Palestinians were forced out of their homeland. And don't give me the bullshit of the Arabs told them to leave. They were forced out!

[alexkaplansky]

Hmmm ... allowed stay in their land. I live in New Jersey and I don't see any Delaware Indians around here any more. They were the ones who used to own all this land. They were all killed or evicted. So what do you think should happen to the 700,000 Jews of Middle Eastern ancestry, now living in Israel, who were evicted from their native countries?

[beverly555]

Yes those jews of middle eastern ancestry have the right to stay. But that's it. The jews from Poland, Russia, Ethiopia etc should leave. Judism is a religion. There is no other religious group that has a country based on religion. Why not have an international homeland for Catholics too?

[renayitz]

Here is part of the Hamas Charter. "Article Thirteen PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS (PEACE)INITIATIVES AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES

...From time to time a clamouring is voiced, to hold an International Conference in search for a solution to the problem... There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiative, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility." So says Hamas.

[NSilencer]

The blockades and borders will stop when 50 terror threats a day (no kidding. 99% of them don't make it to the news)will end.

[truthchannel]

Thats right. not all the jews want to take over the world! What a surprise to all those people that love to hate them! And also not all Palestinians want to blow up Jews. It is time for Israel to lead the way to peace otherwise that whole region is going to, well, fight some more.

[AdamM1980]

as the rate of increase in the number of population in the Palestinian territories Not comparable to the occupied Palestinian territories, This is a cause of concern for the Israeli government to the extent that it has opened the door migration to our occupied land even to non-Jews,

[AdamM1980]

Even I don't know if we can call our case "WAR" to ask for peace, "WAR" means A battle between two equal Armed forces or almost, But our case is called a policy of crushing one side under the pretext that we are in war, What is happening now was planned and controlled by Israel a long time ago, so why would they want to stop now!!!

[AdamM1980]

Mrs. Nisreen called for peace from the reality of the suffering of the Palestinian people, forgetting that peace requires the desire of both sides to be, and I can't recall I heard anything about The suffering of the Israeli people!!! so what do you think can make them sign a "real" peace treaty!!!

[oupone]

A beacon of light shines on these mothers who love their children and hope for their future more than they fear the hatrid of those around them. Great courage.

[starzdelish]

Wow. The strength and conviction in her voice onl makes it an even more powerful statement. But the idea, the idea is the most powerful of all. I pray that this movement succeeds. For the sake of the children of Palestine and Israel. I pray I will one day see them holding hands in peace.

[mewilliamson]

So many people generalize Israelis and Palestinians. Thank you for showing another face in the conflict to the world.

[xXperimentalXx]

For once again history will show that social changes comes from the people and not the leaders... i wish you success in your effort !
