[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A non violent solution is possible...but first both sides need to acknowledge the other sides perspective/fears/desires.

For Israel, they believe that the palestinians want to slaughter them, that the arabs in general want to drive them to the sea.  And that the world is against Israel.  They believe that the survival of Israel is central to the survival of the Jewish people.  This is realized in referring to things like "Tunnels of Terror."

My understanding is the Palestinians believe that Israel wants to occupy them and treat them as second class citizens.  That they are subhuman.  This is realized in all of the Apartheid talk.

In order to have a peaceful solution, the Israelis need to see how the Palestinians view the conflict, and the Palestinians need to see the fear that is driving the Israeli actions.

Then, they can sit down, and start to talk with reasonable perspectives.  How can Israel demonstrate respect for the Palestinians?  How can the Palestinians show the Israelis that they don't want to kill them?

Until that happens, nothing will change.

Thank you. This is the only on-topic post in the entire thread, which has been derailed and dominated by Muslima. Muslima, you make your point on every thread. This is not about who is right or wrong -- i'm asking what people think can happen now to move forward in peace.

Anyone else?[/quote]
