I feel what is behind this evil,are God-less terrorists who blow up innocent people at shopping malls and at their seder meals. Then these same terrorists (Arafat) hide behind civilians. Arafat should tell his people that TERRIOSM IS WRONG. The meeting with Arafat and Powell should be interesting....but I highly doubt if anything will come of it. You can't negotiate with a terrorist. >Forunately not all Israeli's or Jews think this way just as not all >Palestinians are evil people determined to destroy Israel. Their leader wants Israel annihilated!! Wiped from the face of the earth! They will not recognize Israel as a sovereign state. Israel has admitted that the Palestinians have some legitimate grievances. And have given up land..and would have given up more. BUT what Israel will not tolerate are these suicide bombers, thus the murdering of their innocents. >doing now or what it did in the past and also Israeli Jews who do not feel >criticism of Israel is anit semetic. I agree with you here:Just because one would criticize Israel, does not equal anti semitism.....by any stretch... >The reason for all the wars and disputes in the world is one group of >people >insisting that their view is the only correct one and forcing said view on >others I don't believe it in this case,I really don't. Israel is the one lone democracy in this region.....and all their neighbors hate them. I feel Israel is special and this may sound corny, but to me they are the "good guys" who have been so maligned throughout history. I guess you can kind of tell I'm a partisan. >When one side refuses to see another side, there can be no discussion. I'm a total pessimist when it comes to this dispute.....I believe it will only end with a WORLD involved cataclysmic end. On that happy note....good night.....and sweet dreams.
