Thread Name: Baby murdered in Hebron
Subject: RE: Baby murdered in Hebron
I don't have offhand a site that will address care for this child, but for the Palestinians, here is one I found. i don't know anything about it but they bring children here for medical care. http://www.wolfenet.com/~pcrf/ If I can find a way, I will personally go to this area and care for any child, any side.

I think we must all condemn the violence, but must also look with wide open eyes at the whole situation. We need to start from fresh with the history of it, go to the original sources etc and try to make sense of it. Then we have to try to come up with solutions.

One solution I think is for everyone to admit the biggest problem is overpopulation (along with that goes water). For Sharon to call for 1 million new settlers, many of them Americans, is provocative. There should be satellite "homelands" for both sides of the conflicts, along with primary homelands. Like we have Mother Ireland, with hubs in the US, Australia, Canada etc. We are still Irish. There could be no Ireland and yet there would always be one. Same with Israel. Same with Palestine. Hub and satellites, with satellites providing a lot of the farming. And we will never understand the Palestinians until we understand their attachment to their olive trees and how traumatized they remain at the loss of their orchards. To those of us who are urban, if they gave us an equivalent house we might say fine...but these attachments run very very deep and must be addressed and certainly the destruction of orchards etc. must not be done wantonly or provacatively.
