sparks Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Two states based on pre 1967 borders is as fair as it can get, given the history... Link He said what is right... But Israel thinks differently of course... "Why should the Arabs make peace? If I were an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the na zis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we came here and stole their country. Why should they accept that? That bit of truth from David Ben Gurion "We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population." Menachim Begin "Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial." Ariel Sharon "Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population." Moshe Dayan Nice bunch, eh! So it'll either be a phone call to a certain banking 'family', or a mossad unit sent to sort out this 'upstart' president.. :Winky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndLoser Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 A plea by the people of Israel: Recognizing a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders is vital for Israel’s existence "On the eve of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, more and more prominent Israelis are calling for recognizing a Palestinian state now and for negotiating with that state to achieve peace and security. They are calling it an existential Israeli interest. On May 18th, they ran unprecedented ads in Israeli papers making their case, signed by eighteen generals and twenty-seven winners of the prestigious Israel Prize, among others." http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/05/19/977507/-Endorse-the-J-Street-AdObama-and-Netanyahu:-Act-now-to-achieve-a-two-state-peace :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
