The Peace Process

This argument gets stupider and stupider everyday and everyday my confidence in human intelligence slips away bit by bit.

Listen there will never be peace here because the Palestinians have attacked us from day one and terrorized us for no cause. We were simple farmers who bought land here and tended to our farms and the Arabs hated us because we we were able to make trees grow where before there were none.
The Arabs have created all the problems here for themselves. They have imprisoned themselves. Every Israeli knows that Palestinians can have a good life if they simply put down their weapons and behave like civilized people.
But instead they terrorize and perpetuate antisemitism. We have suffered this same antisemitism at the hands of the Nazis and now the Arabs.
It is antisemitic to say that we have no right to this land. We bought it fair and square from the Turks.
And recently you read in the news that a high judge here ruled that god gave us this land. It is in the Bible. This is what was written for thousands of years and so coming from Europe we are merely returning home. We may not look like this is our home but that's because we lived in Europe for thousands of years. But make no mistake this is our home and resisting against us will only make life more uncomfortable for the Arabs who occupy our land.
Eventually they will all be gone and that is as god wants it. That is what Judaism states and what all Jews who are real Jews know in their hearts. To be a Jew is to be Chosen. It's why we only marry each other. It's why we know secretly that we are better. We have suffered enough genocide and it is our turn to turn the tables. To get our land and have a country that is just for Jews. This is why no one criticisizes us because they know in their hearts that we are right. We're Jewish we are always right. It is as god has ordained. We are the Chosen ones.
Some Jews want to pretend this isn't the case but in their heart of hearts they know that they enjoy being privileged, they enjoy the benefit of superiority. In Israel we don't need to hide this but in America Jews have the formality of pretending like they care. But in the back of their mind they know they are better and that they are untouchable because of it. It's why we're so successful. This is what Israel is: the manifestation of such successful people who will never give back what we captured from the Arabs. We won it in war and it is ours.
You may have seen the article how our snipers wore shirts in operation cast lead in Gaza this Last Hanukkah that had a picture of a pregnant Palestinian woman on it and the words "two for the price of one". In Israel no one cares about this because we see it as getting rid of terrorists. A terrorist does not deserve life. This is why we write "Arabs to the Gas chambers" on their houses when we conduct military operations in their ghettos.
There will never be peace here because the Arabs don't understand that we suffered in Nazi Germany enough and it's our turn to have what we want.

I disagree with one part of this essay: The "two-state" solution. That plays into the occupier's logic. Make it a single, secular democracy and allow Palestinians the right to return to their actual property sites, or a just compensation. Anything less simply rewards ethnic cleansing and state terrorism. Certainly, the narrow-minded bigots will flee this state, but many will remain, and those remaining will work toward a multi-faceted land based on individual rights. I'm sure many Israelis are horrified at the prospect of a Palestinian majority. But that's the way it was before Zionism created this nightmare. And don't start invoking the holocaust -- it was all too real, but it was done by Europeans, not Arabs, much less Palestinians. And for those who invoke the Jewish homeland of biblical times as some type of logical defense for Zionism: I don't see all the knee-jerk supporters of Israel in the United States turning over their property to the native Americans. Are only Jews allowed to claim ancient settlements as some type of argument for today? Yes, there were Jews thousands of years ago in Palestine and, under a single state they would remain, their safety as secure as they would allow it to their fellow Muslim and Christian Palestinians. A diverse and, equally important, secular state that guarantees freedom of and from religion is the only solution.

Has anyone read about recent U.S. backpedalling on illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank? These illegal settlements must utterly infuriate Palestinians and frustrate peace activists in both Israel and Palestine. The israeli government is aquiesing to the demands of radical Zionists. No good can come of this SNAFU.

I'm surpised this article hasn't spawned the default anti-Semitic accusation hurled whenever anyone dares to critique the military/secret police tactics of the State of Israel. The two vitriolic comments I read here are harmful to the the Palestinian cause and reinforce all the cliches.

I fail to understand US being the state of learned people ,a symbol of advancement and one who always raises his voice against injustice so much so that they can invade a country if they feel there would be terrorist activity originating from there ;how do they rest in peace while israel's army cracks down on helpless and armless palestenians ?
I am a muslim and i do not hate a single person for which conutry they belong to ,i dont believe in killing be it anybody a human life lost is the biggest loss..but i feel betrayed and i feel hurt by people in the west ,its not us muslims who have a problem its basically a problem with them not to see why we are acting this way,for a moment if they be in our shoes they would certainly know how it feels like !!
We muslims havent lost faith ,our faith in a better future and our faith in peace ...we are bound to get there!

Just to clear few facts for you and all the western world out there.
I speak on behalf of majority of Palestinians and Israelis, peace is Impossible and to name a few of reasons:
Palestine is our home land, and will never share it or split it with our one and only enemy , simply .. we don’t have to ….Ship the Jews back to Europe and Africa and the problem will be solved….
Regardless of what corrupted politicians trying to do, Palestinians will resist and fight Jews in Palestine and all over the world.
They killed, slaughter d and displaced us, we will never forget or forgive.
