Subject: RE: BS: Mideast: View From the Eye of the Storm
I'm not particularly interested in the plight of the Palestinians. I'm interested in Peace in the Holy Land. I'm interested in seeing the world move beyond the current conflict between the developed world and the developing world. I have not said I favour the Palestinians over the Israeli's and I certinly do not. But I have a certain amount of empathy and some knowledge of history. I can't help but sympathize with them just as I admire Israel's historic story of survival.

It seems you may disagree with this But I don't see any superiority of any group between Jews, Moslems or Christains I see far more differences among groups of humans than between them.

I look at the problem thinking what can we do from now on? Likud's and Hamas' actions shown that they do not want peace. I'm not so sure about Arafat. But since he is duely elected, he needs a chance to try. No bombing police stations, no occupation, no fence. If he is given a fair chance and then fails to bring peace then we have reason to ask the Palestinians to elect someone else.
