peace for Israel

remains in this war are little more than pray.

You could talk about who is right and wrong, one could on the side of the Arab League position (I will not "Arabs" say), as it now is almost as good form as to complain about Bush, but none of those who do, an alternative propose solutions.

war is always bad, only the very stupid not to know, but to put it quite obvious, you have to defend them at some point the wife and children, however, not by one kills the other women and the children of others enough, many do not know. That in this war precisely this happens is not just the fault of the Israeli side. On the contrary. The radical forces in the area continued throughout targeted on achieving the greatest possible losses on both sides, by using in centrally located schools and hospitals as bases. For what girl wants to volunteer to blow up, if not her brother at one of the "barbaric attacks of the Zionist regime" was killed?

Now, the question that no one, I think we can answer: If the offensive is stopped, what should we do next?

I personally would radically reject war, if I knew of Palestinians on the street went to protest against the shelling of Israeli cities. In this case, it would be clear that such a rejection of Hamas' methods in the population exists that can be achieved through negotiations and the Promotion of Peace "anymore and can just make that peace. But it's not the case, and I fear that Hamas will be forgiven much more blood than Israelis, it was actually only the blood of the terrorists, as would correspond to an ideal case and the laws of war.
I can not speak out against war.

Those who call for a truce, 're right - a cease-fire during a war is the only goal that can be proclaimed by decent people in a decent society. But those who consider that a cease-fire as a rebuke of Israel speak, much of that illegal settlements will be built, and much of the Golan Heights to be returned. This is completely incomprehensible to me.

First, because I do not see why a country should return an area that it has acquired during a war not started by him. The absurdity of this Claim could be with the following picture illustrate: it approaches you as a person who had previously announced that they do not want to deprive such, but to kill. She has a gun in his hand that you succeed to steal that person. After couple years, you ererfahren by a court decision, which obliges you to return the person you have been robbed of their property. Would not that ridiculous? But well - Israel is not only victims, and that would be quite possible for the purpose of peace, then the attacker a pistol, or revolver, or whatever you want to return. But what if you feel that this gun is used solely to threaten you? I do not understand the exposure, but would actually mean that Israel should cede the Golan Heights. If such an act would constitute a danger to Israeli civilians.

Secondly, I believe that the state of emergency, which is located in Palestine since time immemorial, not the time may be to make territorial claims. If it's in the front line for peace is how are we supposed to talk about the limits that extend too far left or right or up?

limit Third, the political demands for an Arab country not only on the Golan Heights, or other boundaries, territories, cities, etc. It is so, unfortunately, a complete erasure of the State of Israel, and a subsequent expulsion of the remaining Jews in Europe is an absurd proposal. The fact that people sit in the Israeli parliament, which make this very claim, and that negotiations with countries that also make this demand shows me that at the political level, everything is done, what can be done. However, it is after more, requires more willingness to compromise, according to clearances of new settlements, to this and that, and these claims will not come to the conclusion that the Arab media because their aggressive, anti-Israel - are not set American and European propaganda, Iran, Russia and other bahalten their bombs are not in the country, rejecting the Page Arab states will not end and, accordingly, the fear of terrorist attacks in London, Paris, London, either.

What you might laugh but are the gems of humanity, the spokesman of the Arab League to spit on the table. "Arab League condemns genocide", "Arab League condemned the assault of the Israeli Forces ...". Strange that the bombs falling on Israel does not cause such outrage, although the consequences of such behavior by Hamas would sooner or later cause with new security force. Or was sure that Israeli politicians would not have the courage to go against the first value? make that a part of the public in Europe and America on the side of the Palestinian population, which was also well and good, but unfortunately is also a little on the side of "freedom fighters"? Perhaps because more Arab match to be filmed by Arabs than by Jews? But few Israelis to die, as Palestinians, Hamas is not an act of grace, but a merit of the Israeli authorities, which is precisely the number of victims of a concern, and thus a bit of the guilt of the Russian arms dealer - If she had sold more guns!

On the political level it seems to me so exhausted all possible means, except the war, as far as one can describe it as a means. But even this can not be! In particular, because on such funds never reach the objectives are achieved, which is believed to want. How fair the War is also how necessary it is, he always disappointed. And if you had read the history book at least once, you will not dare to support a war. What do you do if at some point, this war is over?

not start a new one that is already clear. But there are a few things that need to be done, and that brings me to human rights with which it is not as bad as other else where, but also not too good.

talk about it the politicians, who usually eager for a ceasefire, which is all well and good, and the return of occupied Areas explain rather less understood, because they state that the interest is not the great and dangerous supporters of the Palestinian resistance are with the victims. But nevertheless this is the only point on which you have to talk over and over again. It must be beyond question and more are still, as only the official position that anyone who wants to live in the seed of Israel, can live there and there is welcome. The school in Arab areas of Israel must be equipped just as well be the water supply of the same quality as in Jewish areas. This is, of course. But it's hard to think quite so, simply because the horrific images of all the possible attacks are still alive, and because the Attetäter pretend to Arabs and Palestinians to fight. Hamas, however, would threaten an attack, if Arabs are treated demeaning at police stations, could I at least understand a bit of those that support Hamas' front revisions would. Perhaps the effect would be a radical adjustment in the way, if it had widespread really something. In any event, such as correct.

Perhaps even the peaceful protest of a Noam Livne, a very Christian gesture, bringing its fruits. Anyway, it's admirable when a person directly concerned by refusing to retaliate with the same - that is against Hamas to go to war. Even when you know that more people die in a war, than the were to die under the plan, it is difficult of revenge, hatred or at least the antipathy to anything with the guilty, again, Hamas, interrelationships , depends, to resist. Only very few can do that I just not fitting is that it requires all Israelis that they all act the same, like this hero, and thus act on the principle of the second jaw to hold out even more.

But until then I can not say that I condemn this war because of the government. Maybe she is pursuing other goals, because what can we do better to delay their own replacement or even prevent, than to start a war and maybe even win? But the fact that many Israelis support this war shows how long do they provoked, and how successful these provocations are now. Israelis are tired of negotiating, only a very few can even hope for a peaceful solution. Maybe it was fatigue, the bombs from Gaza and everything else just in time for those who want to make politics out of a war. But I do not know what to do, and I know that the decision to wage this war or not to do, is not a decision I would take. Let's see, after you know it better and better. And we hope that while we wait, as few as possible are killed, and so we pray for peace.

But not fly one, in which bombs on Israel and Palestine.
