...from same site C. Ham linked to...a message from an average citizen:



"Title:        To all my Arab neighbors
Name:        Said
City:        Haifa    State:        Israel

I have spent the last 30 years in Haifa, cherishing this place because it represents the real Middle East for me. A place where Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bahai etc. can live in peace together.

Under a passport of a Muslim country (my birth place and no good place for Jews today), I have been able to travel around the entire Middle East. I have seen the change of mind.

The death of Jews & Israel is the main goal now. I & most israelis can compromise on everything, but not on our existence.

We made many mistakes, and we still make more, but what is your goal?
If the goal is to live as good neighbors next to a smaller, pacified, apologetic israel - we can all do it! But if only our death satisfies you...then there is no hope."
