""But what we are all curious to know is what should be done to stop the killing in both the Palestinian territories as well as in Israel."

1. Israel must remove her occupations forces from Palestinians territory, Golan Heighs and Jordan---back to 67 lines!

2. Israel must renounce its desire to annex the West Bank and Gaza.

3. Israel must discontinue the practice of calling Palestinian territory Judea and Samaria.

4. Israel must dismantle all illegal settlement on Palestinian territory.

5. The Palestinian authority, the Palestinian people and neighboring Moslem countries must use ALL of their influence and power to put an end to all suicide bombings in Israel.

6. Israel and her neighbors must then normalize economic, cultural and political relations.

Come to think of it, this is precisely what the Saudi Plan called for. And remember, the Saudi Plan was approved by the Arab League. Bush, the European Union and Russia all agreed that the Saudi plan would work. Sharon and ruling Likud rejected this plan. Why? Because they want annex the West Bank and Gaza and expel all the Christian and Moslem Palestinians.

But Emile, you have not addressed a fundamental issue I raised and that is stated in light of your post: Seeing that the African Americans like the Palestenians have no army, seeing that the Indians like the Palestenians also had or armies. Seeing, like the Palestenians, the Indians had their land occupied and worse still colonialized by the British. Seeing, that the African Americans were enslaved by the Americans.

We still did not have Martin Luther King and Gandhi call their occupiers what Palestenians are calling Israelis. They had no hatred for either the British colonialist or the American masters of slaves. They did not consider martyrdom as strapping bombs and killing innocents. And they were finally rewarded by the world community. They finally succeeded in achieving their goal through the efforts of the world community.

How can you expect the Palestenians to get world sympathy when all their leaders have said anything but violence? If the Palestians want peace, then they can provide the lead by themselves being a model of peace. Talking ill about the enemy does not win peace especially in these days when battles are not won by vanquishing the enemy but winning over the world community to your side.
