Ted re: I also would get rid of Arafat..... and how would you do that, by asking him to step down? re: to a Palestinian who needed new kidneys. and yet another reason for bombing - body parts re: is that the 2/3 of Palestinians who are not terrorists I'll give 90% or 95% if you want and the remaining 5% is enough to wipe out Israel through sucide bombings re: I suspect it will have to be fairly small at first and meanwhile Israeli's will be killed by terrorist, I am sorry, freedom fighters and heros I do not know if you have kids but imagine someone in front of you blowing your child's brains out and then tell me that you would be ready to kiss and hag plo and pass them another bomb that they can kill more

>Broker a truce so that a new agreement can be drawn up that clearly provides something beyond simple peace such as economic assistance to the Palestinians in the form of training and jobs, and provides them assistance in overall nation building. I still can't find any potential Palestinian leaders like that... that's why I think that Israelis (or maybe Americans) unfortunately need to govern them for a while. Of course, as long as they have all of these weapons, that's very difficult. That's why the Israelis need to do what they're doing. If they don't, who else will? The Palestinians won't just stop fighting. It won't happen. > With labor costs skyrocketing in Israel, initially at least, the Palestinians can be the source of a cheap labor pool for Israel, They were, and still are to a point. Unfortunately, the necessity for checkpoints has precluded much of that lately. >Once there is a formal plan for peace and cooperative development, then I think there must be social programs that help each side get acquainted such as school exchange programs so that a new generation can be deprogrammed from the current diet of hate, violence and mistrust. I feel like the deprogramming has to be done before there can be peace. >The irony of this situation.....is that the 2/3 of Palestinians who are not terrorists and who want a new nation seem to share the same zeal with the Israeli Zionists of 50-60 years ago. In this and some other ways, the distance between the Israelis and the Palestinians is not so great.....but then there is the history. Nearly 90% of them support suicide bombings. I'd figure that well over half (though I don't know the real number) still want all of Israel, and not just the West Bank and Gaza. -Z
