> I'd gathered, which is why I'm surprised at your stance.
The fact that this suprises you at all is so so telling about the world. Why should me loosing personally have any effect on my judgement of what is right or wrong. If I am on the side of wrong, and I am by owning those resources, then I should welcome what is right.
This is what drives me nuts about people on both sides of this... no one is willing to do whats right, even if it means loss for them... they care more about keeping what they have then being held accountable for their theft or murders or wrong doing.
> Israel ceases its objections to an actual, organized Palestinian State, and Israel gives up land for that Palestinian State to exist.....
I dont think israel has a right to take land from palestine simply because the rest of the world doesnt want them..
But hey if palestinians were willing to let their land be stolen and agreed to that and generously gave them their land because they wanted to... then yea by all means I agree with you that form of peace would be great.
But I cant imagine **anyone** just giving away part of their country they have lived on for thousands of years to be completely taken from them.
At best just letting the isralis stay under pallestinian rule would be extremely generous since palestinians were never asked like they should have been.
What israel needs to do is recognize **they** are in the wrong as invaders and take a position of humility,w here they admit the wrongs they did and ask, humbly, to be integrated (or have some modest piece of land)... but they need to come at it knowing they are wrong and knowing they are **asking** ffor the generocity of Palestine, and not just take what was never theirs.
Not privilage.. if I lost what I have in israel I would not be able to afford to feed myself...
So its far from the fantasy of me being so privilages i can afford to loose it.
In fact what little privilage I have i recognize, as israeli in nature, is due to the exploitation of palestinians and as such I am simply willing to loose everything because what is right is more important.
shame on you to assume its because im so privileged it doesnt matter.
