An Israeli in awe of a Palestinian act of non-violence

You talk of a ceasefire? How many rockets have been fired into israel since the ceasefire? Answer 0. How many palestinians including children have been murdered by the IDF? Answer at least 1 a day! A one sided ceasefire dont you think? At least no one is knocking down your house & killing your kids you pratt!

It is about Israelis, a colonising power and Palestinians, a people whose land is being colonised. The only relevance religion has is that it is the racist underpinning of Israeli society. If you don't belong to the religion you are inferior and most Palestinians are not members of Judaism.

But, nobody's colonizing anymore, in the US.

In fact, they iive in the same neighborhood, work for the same companies, and their kids go to school together, They also intermarry. But, again, nobody is stealing anyone's home or water. That's the ONLY difference.

Its not in Israel.

You are quite clueless child.

variety against Arabs and non-Jews generally. And for murder read Torah Ha-Melech. Then come back and tell me how Jews are peace-loving angels and those Arabs are so scary...

Of course, they are SUCH bad shots, they only hit him FOUR times.

And, the murder of Count Bernadotte, who saved the lives of 30,000 Jews.

he racist for being surprised by it? Please decide and get back to us on it. We want to know why we should hate Burston - but your ridiculous contradictions make it sooo hard!

Palestinians and Jews are from the same genetic stock: Semitic. I don't know why Palestinians are called Arabs...perhaps because the Jews refuse to recognize Palestine in any way?

Abount 38% of Palestinians are direct descendants of the ancient Jews. Only about 16% of Aahkenazim are of ancient Jewish blood. I am a descendant of the ancient Jews, but not Jewish. My Jewish husband is not a descendant. He thinks that's a HOOT! ;-) The irony is that in Israel, the descendants of the ancient Jews are being persecuted and diasporized by the modern Jews.

Check out the IMMIEDIATE terrorism imposed by Hagana, the Stern Gang, and Irgun. Then, Google Plan Dalet. BTW-- Guess what? the occupied ALWAYS resist the occupier. Always. So, QUIT the occupation and get BACK within your own, self-declared borders.

Unfortunately they wouldn't have listened and would have hurt you for even bringing up the idea of peaceful coexistence. Israel looked outnumbered and weak from the aftermath of the Holocaust. The neighboring Arab/Islamist armies looked strong and boasted of bringing on carnage against the Jews on the bloody order of the Crusades. Sorry but greed and covetousness lost out whereas acceptance and friendship would have won a State for the Palestinians-- thereby the self-imposed plight that I mentioned earlier that you don't seem to understand even after 64 years of glaring examples. What "occupation" would you like Israel to quit? Even the western most condo on Tel-Aviv's beaches? That's what the militant Palestinians wanted for many decades and you'd don't know that yet?

The Arab armies were pathetic. NOW they are stornger, because Israel has provided the necessity for so being. As for the Crusades AND the inquisition-- those for EUROPEAN Christian enterprises. Several Arab states PROTECTED Jews from both Queen Isabella the Fanatic and Hitler. As for WHICH occupation-- Israel's ONLY legal borders are the '48 borders, unless she either 1) succeeded in annexing legally, or 2) accepted the offer of the Arabs for ALL the land to the Green LIne. When Israel DECLARED her borders, she left out the WB, Gaza, and Jerusalem. Heads up! Hasbara histroy is NOT what the rest of the world studied in school.

If Israel vacates all the illegally built permanent settlements on the West Bank, then yes, that sounds like a fair deal.

and some of the rest by Jews.

Fair is fair.

Dear Harry. I understand your position as being a result of the side you are born into. Your comments only show that you are not a free mind, and do not think by yourself, let alone you are an extension of the propaganda machine. claiming that Palestinian cities are outposts clearly feeds the Idea of "a Land without people for a people without land". I wish you all the best that one day you might brake your mental wall, and understand that the israeli narrative of this place is not the only one, and that narratives are of subjective nature. So please if you want to continue to nurture hate, go ahead !!!

The Arab League Peace Proposal.

Absolutely agree with you, All Settlements should be removed. I am a Palestinian and I agree. Reminder for you, and all views, the roots of so called the state of Israel started as originated from Settlement. So we are ready when you are.

then he could take all the illegal squatters who are sitting on stolen land, bloated and fat with Israeli / US government subsidies, with him. Maybe you could go too because people like you and the settlers are destroying Israel from within
