[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Jewish and pro-Israel.  I fully support a two-state solution, but feel as though Hamas doesn't support this as they do not acknowledge Israel's right to exist.  That being sad, even though I am pro-Israel, any news of a civilian death (especially a child) is heartbreaking.  No Jewish person I know rejoices to hear an innocent Palestinian is killed and I can't imagine how terrible life is in Gaza right now.  [b]I just don't know what better options Israel has[/b].[/quote]
Very simple, stop the illegal occupation and give people back their land. It is not rocket science....[/quote]

Since it's very simple, what land are you suggesting should be given back? [/quote]

The entire land that wasn't theirs to begin with. There is only one solution : A one state solution. I will repeat what I said yesterday. Palestine/Israel is as unpartitionable as was South Africa and Northern Ireland, where similar ethnic conflicts had also defied resolution for generations. In both places, it was only when the dominant group dropped its insistence on supremacy that a political settlement could be reached. What was once unimaginable happened: Nelson Mandela's African National Congress and F.W. de Klerk's National Party joined hands in a national unity government in 1994. Leaders in Northern Ireland made similar progress . [/quote]

And what do you see happening to the Israelis, their families and their homes?  Wholesale evictions based on where someone claims their grandfather lived 60 years ago? [/quote]
Do you think that's what happened in South Africa? Were White people evicted at the end of the Apartheid? We must begin to construct a vision of a nonracial, nonsectarian Palestine-Israel, which belongs to all the people who live in it, Israeli Jews, Palestinians, and all exiles who want to return and live in peace with their neighbors. Do you think Nelson Mandela would have been what he is today and South Africa what it is today, if they decided on a 2 state solutions asking all the Blacks to stay in SOWETO and giving the Whites the Best Part of the country? How many times in History do we have to go through this for people to understand that you can't come into someone's country, occupy it, terrorize them, push them into the most impoverished part and expect that they will just sit there peacefully and live happily ever after[/quote]
