According to Dr Love's calculater, Israel and Palestine have a 62 percent compatibility so why has peace been so elusive?
Why haven't powerful people such as the President of the United states, Nobel peace prize winners and other wastes of space achieved peace there?To probe this issue I wrote a piece seen below in which I asked hard hitting question to - israellycool.com a self described 'Conservative blog commenting on Palestinian terrorism and Israeli/International politics'. Please note (These question asked below are not asked rhetorically) Please also note (This Shit get's serious)
Do you look at it from the other side? that is - why they feel like they have been cheated. Should they have shared the land with you? Do you believe all that land belongs to Israel? Should Arafat have accepted such a unfair deal offered to them?Is it because at one point you were willing to share the land but after they launched a couple wars against you in which you won - they lost the right to the land?
I certainly don't blame Israel for anything - you have experienced horrific acts of violence towards you to the point where you think, do these people value human life? - Your response is to (which is totally understandable) commit acts of violence towards them (more carefully as to not hurt civilians) and to make life intolerable by crippling their economy, shutting their borders, blowing up power stations etc as a deterrent - it's a vicious cycle because now they think who are these people? - they take our land, now they take away our dignity like this, we are poor, trapped - they treat us like animals thus the hatred becomes more and more entrenched. It's just that it seems like a much more complicated situation. Do you think you both have legitimate claims to the land? Or not? Will there ever be peace there? I seriously doubt it - not because your bad people but because the land your fighting over is so tiny it's impossible to divide up.
I read stupid opinions on both sides of the debate - people who blame Israel for everything casting them as the Monsters picking on the poor Palestinians and people on the other side who utterly refuse to acknowledge that Arabs were living in that area for a very long time. Or am I wrong? am I a hypocrite because we took the land from the aboriginals in Australia here? or is it a totally different situation.
Personally I think it's pretty amazing what you (Israelis) have done there, I have a lot of respect with the way you conduct yourselves too.
As I said I'm not trying to be instigative - you may role your eye's and sigh and say here we go another guy without a clue but I would love to know what you think.

ReplyDeleteCould it have anything at all to do with the Hamas charter (http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm) or The PLO's ties to the Nazis via Arafat's uncle and mentor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husayni)?
It's the "death to the Jews" crowd Israel is fighting. "The Arabs" are an enemy only in as much they associate with or support that crowd.
People ask Israel to compromise. But the compromise between Israels's existence and 6 million dead Jews is three million dead Jews.
It's not a vicious cycle either. And neither is hatred born of legitimate anger over what the perceived enemy has really done. Anti-Semitism is worst where there are no Jews or where there haven't been Jews in a long time.
Germany was completely destroyed by the allies, yet Germans during the cold war did not hate Americans or the British.
Jews and Gypsies were murdered in large numbers by the Germans but Jews and Israelis do not hate Germans (or attack German civilians at random).
Hatred is caused solely by ignorance and personal decisions.
The enemy is not hated because he shot back when attacked. The enemy is hated because one wants to hate him and hated him before he was ever attacked or ever shot back.
Israel was attacked by the Arabs BEFORE there were any "Palestinian refugees".
The PLO was meant to fight the "occupation" and was founded BEFORE the occupation started in 1967.
Iraq allied with Nazi Germany in 1941 BEFORE Israel declared independence.
Jews (and other non-Arab minorities) lived in fear in Arab states BEFORE 1948.
Everything the Arabs have done to Israel happened BEFORE Israel had done what the Arabs claimed caused them to attack. So how could it be a "cycle" of violence?
It looks to me more like a "time machine" of violence.
Usually the Arabs complain about things Israel has done to them after they unsuccessfully tried to do those things (and more) to Israel.
Consider this quote (verify it if you must):
“Those who survive will remain in Palestine. I estimate that none of them will survive.” - Ahmed Shukairy, chairman of PLO in Jordanian Jerusalem, asked in news interview what will happen to the Israelis if there is a war
That was before the 1967 war.
Not only did the Arabs plan to annex Israel, but they also planned to kill all the Jews. Yet since they lost that war they whine about the occupation of the "West-Bank" as if that was a crime beyond their understanding.
The only way to end this conflict is for the world to understand one simply thing: It is NO LONGER allowed to attack and kill Jews whenever one wants to. The Jews WILL fight back and they WILL be violent and they WILL win.
Once the world learns that lesson, we are good.
