And as I have said before, Israeli governmental policy is apparently not interested in peace in the region but a continuation of dominance over the Palestinian people.

Here's a problem to discuss rationally and not with invective. Hamas and Fatah are a problem for the Palestinian people because they are not together and have antiquated policies. Hamas is not supported unilaterally by the Palestinian people in Gaza. To punish the Palestinian people for Hamas is the ignorant reaction of the Israeli government who incites this terrible reaction.

The settlements in Ariel, Ma'ale Adumin are designed to cut the West Bank into strips and deny the Palestinians the Statehood that they deserve. An illegal occupation is not
self-defense.

Now I expect that we can discuss this without temper tantrums and childish outbursts.

I deplore violence of any kind but I see that the policies of Israel with support from the United States are not in the interest of peace but Israeli expansionism. This has to change.

Peace will come when Palestinians are given a right to their homeland as Israel requires for its self.

The U.S. has got to stop giving Israel armaments that amount to $115 billion a year. This is more than we have given any other country for weaponry.

Taking sides on this issue by proclaiming self-righteous condemnation will not make peace in the region happen. It is the responsibility of course of Israel and the Palestinians but status quo is not the answer.

In the meantime, if the U.S. continues to take sides by supplying one country with weaponry and ignoring Palestinian prisoners subjected to torture, the abuse of Palestinian people, the starving by controlling the amount of goods these people can receive, by keeping them from actually having any semblance of a democracy, they will not be an honest broker.

Israel will never be a democracy in the truest sense until there is a parity between Palestinians and themselves. They will continue to be dictators.

Now that's a real fact.
