| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4540763 02/05/2012 04:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe that a path to peace lies in the efforts between jewish people/Israelis and Palestinians to somehow (despite the wrongs commited by both sides) form friendships with eachother. Even an online bond of common interests is ammunition against the sickness that would have us kill eachother. I am a jewish by birth and I welcome potential friendships with Palestinians; obviously there may be challenges and obstacles but I am willing to make the effort. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4540763 As an American-born Palestinian, I have personal friends who happen to be Jewish. I look forward to speaking with them because of how much we really do have in common! :) Well I am pleased to make your acquaintance and respect the things you have said so far. I've often pondered the idea of trying to start community groups where Palestinians and jewish people might get together with the idea of forming friendships towards peace. The framework would be challenging with a lot of potential for problems. It seems to me that it is easy to get caught up in trying to make historical claims. To me what is important is not how things happened but where we are today. Where we are today is a situation where we have members of eachother's societies who wish to harm eachother and one who oppresses/occupies the other. In my opinion the most difficult problem to overcome is that of racism. It amazes me to find that even within myself, with all my good intentions there is a seemingly natural racist propensity. If I identify myself as anything... for example as a jewish, it would seem natural that I wish to preserve my existance according to this definition of self. Let me take this out of the Arab/jewish context for a moment. I am white and live in Canada. We have an Aboriginal minority population here. How would I feel about the prospect of whites becoming a minority here? I fear it! Why? Because I am wired to make the mistake of identifying myself at least partially by the color of my skin rather than by what matters the most... that I am a human! Back to the original context... it seems to me that the position of even the most leftist amongst a majority (oppressor/occupier) is going to have this fear of racial "weakening" by way of population/geographic expansion of the minority. Perhaps true peace would require honest examination of ourselves and how we define ourselves by race/religion :( |

How did you procure said title and what powers and responsibilities come with it? Palestine was, is, and always will be. Selfish, greedy interests at the expense of other lives will ultimately pay the price. No, you can't be a country and I'm the Ambassador to Palestine because I make the most sense of all this Israeli/Palestinian confusion. I'm confident that a reasonable person from either side will like what I have to say as long as they are also truly about peace. I gave myself said title because I don't trust the current individuals supposedly speaking on my behalf and my only responsibility lies in the mission for peace, utilizing any and all powers available to me for this cause. No matter what you say, until I see it on a map (in English), Palestine is not a country. your Palestinians are not about peace or concession. The leftists world agenda has emboldened them in their violence. Do they chant peace to Israel and peace to the us in the streets? You see the issue with the rose tinted glasses of modern liberalism. A more fitting title may be Mayor McCheese. That way people will thinking you're crazy rather than dillusional. "You ain't nuffin! You a punk faggot!
