There has been peace only because the Arabs have chosen not to confront Israel.

There has not been peace. There has been an absence of open warfare between nations only because the Arab nations have realized that they are not powerful enough to deal with Israel.


An "absense of open warfare" means peace. It may be an uneasy peace but its still peace.

Israel is holding a land and its peoples illegally.

Would you "let go" of the Palestinians without a negotiated solution? Would you let the Palestinians have a nation state with all the rights and abilities thereof, without having the Palestinians renounce terrorism and settle on some border?


What about Zionist terrorism? You expect the Palestinians to give up their only trump card to independence but you ignore 60 years of Zionist terrorism.

You are willing to offer more then even most of the left in Israel is willing to offer (easy for you as you aren't offering your own land or effecting your own security) but what if you where the PM of Israel and you offer was still rejected? Would you just withdraw from all the areas that where part of your offer without getting any agreement with or a renouncement of terrorism the Palestinians?

The terrorism won't stop until the Israelis play fair.

Its a horrible, twisted joke! We do the Iraqis a big favor and remove their dictatorial leader, and now we have to rebuild their country for them gratis. Its the biggest, saddest joke I've ever heard.

Whether or not the whole situation is a horrible twisted joke (I disagree there as well but its not relevant to the point so I won't bother arguing about it), the fact is we are and will be giving a lot of aid to Iraq. More then we are currently giving to Israel.


The Iraqis are being given a free ride......not only will they not appreciate it but it won't work in the long run.
