Ari Greenblatt replied to the discussion 'America finally condemned our govrament'

"Dear friends. I think its clear, that Israeli society has to reform itself radically, in order to save itself! I think we all agree that no matter what our own opinions are, practically, a two state solution carries the largest consensus. Having…"

Ari Greenblatt replied to the discussion 'America finally condemned our govrament'

"Israel cant continue to exist in a vacuum in the Arab world or Muslim world. There must be a process of meeting of minds, leading to deep acceptance. This is the only true way for peace to occur. Political solutions don't count for much, they…"

Ari Greenblatt replied to the discussion 'America finally condemned our govrament'

"Ohad, Israel exists in the eyes of the Western world not in the eyes of the Arab world without recognition from the WHOLE world, we should be very careful of making any unilateral moves.. we have suffered the results of such moves too many times"

Ari Greenblatt replied to the discussion 'America finally condemned our govrament'

Ari Greenblatt replied to the discussion 'America finally condemned our govrament'

"My dear friends, As a man of religion i watch and see what is happening in the Islamic world. We dont live in an island here as you know. Jihadi militancy is only on the steep rise and it catches on fast., I guess im not telling you anything that…"

Ari Greenblatt replied to the discussion 'America finally condemned our govrament'

"Ohad, Yigal, Basil Perhaps if we begin with 2 states now, with a mutual decleration of intent to strive for one state in 40 years time, don't you think this could produce some positive results in terms of integration and confederation…"

At 12:37am on March 16, 2010, Rivka said…: I mean your views are surprising to me, given the rest of your description of yourself.

At 12:16am on March 16, 2010, Rivka said…: I mean what is generally meant by generalisin,g I think: assuming that a certain group of people share the political ideas - that is in this site - elsewhere it might mean attributing a bahavioural pattern to a religious, ethnic or whatever self identifying group of people. Haven't you ever generalised about other groups/types/nationalities/religious groups? I think it is a very common human failing - or maybe I'm generalising too much.

At 7:27pm on March 15, 2010, Rivka said…: Hi- you are reminder of the dangers of generalising about types of people!

At 3:49pm on March 4, 2010, Tanya Kasim said…: Salam, Ari. I like that you study Islam and enjoy memorizing verses in Arabic. That's a cool profile. Is the person in the picture with you your son? I used to tutor students with special educational needs at a school in Amman for almost two years.
