My dear Mr. Wesley, Actually talking peace with occupiers when they still insist to legitimize occupation is foolish.... Of course politics has no grammar to be followed...but you must be aware first that the whole of so called Israel is Palestine and it belong to the Palestinians be they Jews,Christians or Muslims...
Untill this principled stand is rejected by the international community the attempt to impose "peace" will continue to fail..... You also should note that global situation is changing...Asia and Africa must have a say over these isuues...Hence those who say "Israel has come to stay" live in fool's paradise... ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Re: [RHETORIC] Israel's Survival Sent: Sat, 18 Dec 2004 08:03:06 +1100 From: Garth Cartledge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > One thing I forgot to mention last night when posting re what I thought re >solution (anyway the line limit would have stopped me anyway).
