this is the entire point:
it's the way that israel / zionism has treated the arabs from day 1 that IS THE REASON that all the hatred exists in the first place.
this idea that 'the arabs' are totally united and dream of nothing but killing jews is complete propoganda garbage, even if it were true israel could probably hold them off!
land for peace - ha let's try not killing top arab scientists for being too smart, let's try not looking at arabs like hitler looked at the poles, first.
THIS IS THE CAUSE.
as soon as arabs are equal to jews in the minds of israel's policy makers, as soon as they are human, we may have a spark that we can deal with.
and there's no need to completely pull all support from israel - like a dozen times in this thread i said 'unconditional' support is the problem.
why would israel ever try to have real peace, if they can simply slowly win? eventually the refugees will die. eventually the palestinians will leave if there's no food and future. time is on their side.
real peace can only come from honest brokers, which the israelis are not even close to being. all that press for ehud barak and how he was the dove - well he may have been, too bad that land he dangled in front of the palestinians as part of negotiations was getting settlements built on it as they spoke!!!
put conditions on the support. that's it. it's a start.
you don't have to choose between 'all the arabs killing all the jooos' and the current state of affairs, that is total crap.
