That's a noble ambition, but unfortunately it is not shared by Zionism. There was a faction of left-wing Zionism that felt that way at the beginning, but they were pushed aside by the fascists. <<< "An article by Yitzhak Epstein, published in Hashiloah in 1907...called for a new Zionist policy towards the Arabs after 30 years of settlement activity...Like Ahad-Ha'am in 1891, Epstein claims that no good land is vacant, so Jewish settlement meant Arab dispossession...Epstein's solution to the problem, so that a new "Jewish question" may be avoided, is the creation of a bi-national, non-exclusive program of settlement and development. Purchasing land should not involve the dispossession of poor sharecroppers. It should mean creating a joint farming community, where the Arabs will enjoy modern technology. Schools, hospitals and libraries should be non-exclusivist and education bilingual...The vision of non-exclusivist, peaceful cooperation to replace the practice of dispossession found few takers. Epstein was maligned and scorned for his faintheartedness." Israeli author, Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, "Original Sins." cactus48.com The current strategy is to make every Arab in the region hate them intensely. This is the future: zmag.org Tom

Your remarks are still racist. What is racist is that you continue to spread your interpretation of race (Jews and Arabs do not compose a race or races). Incidentally I used the same argument in the 1950s(the one in which Israel would be the saviour of the Arab peoples if only they would make peace.) I have come a long way since in my understanding of the propaganda to which I was subjected as a young and impressionable child and teenager. As to your attempt to enlist Einstein to your cause: From the DMOZ open directory of quotes Albert Einstein and Martin Buber said: "Einstein: "I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish State." Buber: "our murderous sickness of causeless hatred is bound to bring complete ruin upon us. Only then will our land realize how great was our responsibility to those Arab refugees in whose towns we settled." "
