[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Seems they have to defend themselves within Israel, too. There is a surge in anti-Arab violence. The most well-known of course is the recent murder of a teen Arab who was burned alive.

The Israelis are the invaders. The US should train, armed and provide combat support for the Palestinians. Once the Palestinians can hit Israel and take down its military, there will be peace. [/quote]

Absolutely not.  The way to achieve peace is not to further arm the sides and foment more violence.  All that begets is more violence and heartache.

Right-minded, moral people in Israel need to take back the reins of government from extremist elements in a democratic way and begin to heal the rift between the Israeli and Palestinian people.  They should not allow extremist elements to control policy in Israel again.  Government reforms should be instituted in prder to ensure this.[/quote]

Absolutely. I completely agree.[/quote]
