"Sussan, you don't see Jews from Arab & Muslim countries shoot Qassams at Egypt, or Syria, or where ever they came from. What about the "house, farm, business, or whatever" of the Sephardic/Mizrachi Jew?"

The fly's right to play Ping-Pong with the Elephant.

In Amira Hass' most recent article titled, "The sanctity of the soaring Qassam", a peculiar phrase was used. I was wondering what you people think of the phrase, "the fly's right to play Ping-Pong with the elephant."In some context, the phrase appears in the paragraph:"Though they didn't denounce those 50 mortars, Palestinians who are not Hamas supporters did give them a political interpretation. This wasn't "the attacked party's right to respond" (or, more accurately, the fly's right to play…See More

Government Reform and One State Solution

Posted on February 26, 2009 at 11:45pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

From http://oldworldnewideas.blogspot.com/

Yesterday, I volunteered at JNF (Jewish National Fund) - stuffing envelopes and stamping them to be sent out to donors. There, I met another volunteer, an elderly fellow named Steve. We talked about Israeli politics, Jewish and family history.

He proposed a drastic government/electoral reform and a one state solution. I am against a one state solution because I think it would just lead to civil war, but I'll paraphrase Steve's… Continue

I am a Palestinian Arab from Hizmeh, a village between Jerusalem and Ramallah. When I was 15 years old I fought against the Israeli Occupation in search of freedom. At that time I thought every Jewish person, whether soldier or citizen, man or woman, young or old, should be killed. I rejected the right for any Jew to live and every Jew was a target. I was just a kid, believe me, and I didn’t understand anything about politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was arrested and sat in jail for 12 years. This was during the first intifada from 1987. At that time nobody talked about peace but only of violence. I matured during my time in jail. I started studying and reading books on politics, literature, poetry, and about the Madrid Conference.

It gave me hope to live in peace and dignity. I learned that violence only breeds violence and that peace is the only solution for the two nations, the only way for both to have a respectful and beautiful future. We live on the same land. We are neighbors. We drink the same water and both pray to a monotheistic God. We must live in peace on the basis of religion for God and land for everyone.
