Shai Golden, Haaretz Correspondent: Now maybe we can calm down
Talkback
Title:I guess we have heard that one before, haven`t we....????

Israel is "strong" since 1973, but never ever
have we seen an Israeli push for a fair peace
with the Arab neighbours (okay, if we wanna
be generous, we can take Baraks offer from
Camp David 2000 as an exception, but even this
one came only after Clinton taking the initia-
tive).

Which has led to the overwhelming perception
around the world, that there is only one thing
that will "convince" a majority of Israelis
to accept a fair compromise on ALL 3 core
issues:

Massive diplomatical and (hopefully not nece-
ssary) economical pressure from the outside
world.

I am fully convinced that many world leaders
(and not only in Europe) believe the same
today, even if they aren`t willing/able to
state it publicly.

And after having spent 2 years on Haaretz TB,
I must admit that I also have become a "true
believer" of that view....
