1) It is very easy for one person to destroy what it may take a thousand people to create. But despite this, we do not give up on creating the future. The efforts of those who have come before (such as those you cite) have brought us to this historic opportunity. The Arabs have come a long way too (e.g. the Saudi/Arab Peace initiative in 2002 and 2007) Because of the work of these leaders and others… (cont below)

2) cont from above…we now know what peace might look like in practical terms (secure 67 borders-plus/minus, compensation for refugees, and internationalization of parts of Jerusalem), but this is by no means enough. The vision I am laying out here reframes the situation as an opportunity for both sides, a non zero sum game, which of course it is. But be all that as it may, what is your vision for the future? In practical terms, where do you think we will be a generation from now?

@JohnnyRock2000 You aren't very smart. Every country is looking out for her own interests. She recognizes the reality that Egypt is not going to be a democracy, to us democracy means freedom of choice, expression, religion, etc. To Muslims democracy means popularism, if Americans were popularist's then we'd still have black slaves, we'd still be lynching homosexuals and we would all be protestant church-goers. In essence, the biggest group informs all the groups.

Did you catch her using the term Tyrannity in Egypt NOW. And how nothing good can come of it. It was due to Israel that American money and power SUPPORTED tyrants in the Middle East and bribed them to peace with Israel, for decades. It is the people of those countries that are fighting now to dispell those tyrannies. So Glick demonizes the tyrannies Israel helped form and defines the democracies that might become as tyrannies. Zionists suck and blow at the same time.

There was no ground war in Gaza. 3000 bombing raids did the cowardly job.

@tikkunolam613, my vision for the future is nuclear war.

A generation from now, we (the few who survive) will be fighting each other with sticks and stones.

And you and other peace-mongers are those who have brought it about.

The " Saudi/Arab Peace initiative" includes "right of return," i.e. right to exterminate Israeli Jews. Before that, Arabs talked about it openly. The Arabs have come a long way... in trickery.

[lughcious]

@valeagathon

I'm not even sure you're Italian. You seem more Marxist/Zionist. Do you deny you can't find a single gassing of anyone in WWII - Yes, or No? 

[valeagathon]
