Do israeli want peace?

Question

Actions speak so much louder than words ..don't u agree?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Nations_resolutions_concerning_Israel

i'am sure my question will get reported as usual by ppl who can't face the truth...israel is an occupying force ..stole land ..killed women & children ...and tried to justify it..u r living a lie..u have no idea what peace is

peace..

Answer 1

No. They want excuses to escalate violence against the Palestinians on the assumption this will drive them out of Palestine. It will not; the arc of resistance has not fallen but  consistently risen since 1967. What the zionists want is not what they will get; what they are doing will eventually generate a full-blown revolution. And most revolutions have been successful.

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

correct, but true peace can not be won with blood shed. there are always two faces to evil and i'm afraid that you are only looking at one.

the un is flawed. its slow to make desions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nati...

david harsanyi has accused the un of heavy anti-israel prejudice. the negotiations affairs department of the palestine liberation organization has accused the un of serious bias in favor of israel.

much of the land of the middle east is stolen and israel isn't the only country committing human rights violations. the israelis are troubled by this. look up b'tselem.

i personally am not a support of the government of israel and pray for the day when it is just. however, this does not mean i'm against israel, i'm against human rights violations and the middle east is ramped eith them.

Answer 4

This is probably best summed up by this letter written by a peace-loving Israeli...

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD

Dear World, I understand that you are upset with us, here in Israel.

Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. (Outraged?)

Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Today, it is the

"brutal repression of the Palestinians"; yesterday it was Lebanon;

before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and

the Yom Kippur War and the Sinai campaign. It appears that Jews who

triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.

Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you.

We upset the German people who elected Hitler and upset the Austrian

people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of

Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians,

Hungarians and Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the

history of world upset.

We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us

in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the

Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers

of us.

For centuries, we upset the Roman Catholic Church that did its best to

define our relationship through inquisitions, and we upset the

arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the

synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian

ecumenical spirit.

And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that

we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a

Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you,

as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we

upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than

to leave you (and thus love you)- and have you love us and so, we

decided to come home - home to the same land we were driven out of 1,900

years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.



Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please.

Having left you and your pogroms and inquisitions and crusades and holocausts,

having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own

little state, we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress

the poor Palestinians that fire missiles at us and bomb our country daily.  

You are upset that we had to defend ourselves by entering Lebanon to

stop more missiles from killing our people.  You are deeply angered over

the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the

obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The "radical" Arabs are upset

and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.

Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel.

In 1920 and 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede

peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to

upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed

Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and

Hebron.Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered in one day in Hebron in 1929.



Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one

day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in

1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in

Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967?

And when you, dear world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would

have created a "Palestinian State" alongside a tiny Israel and the

Arabs cried "no" and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that

"upset" caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world,

why did we not hear your cry of "upset" then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and

stones are part of the same people who ­when they had all the

territories they now demand be given to them for their state -attempted

to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the

same hate, the same cry of "itbach-al-yahud" (Massacre the Jew!) that

we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the

same  dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they

dream of today, but heaven-forbid, we should not "repress" them.

Dear world, you stood by during the holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as

seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to

the Mongol massacres.

You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab

capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you

would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arab-Palestinians dream daily of that

extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own

land. If that bothers you, dear world, well ­ think of how many times

in the past you bothered us.

  

In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us,

here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

Answer 5

People seem to get confused between the Israeli leaders and the actual Israeli citizens...

I'm a Jew and I just want peace, I support a two-state solution, I support a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza and an internationalization of Jerusalem.

85% of Israelis support a two-state solution.

The average Israeli just wants peace, you may find it hard to believe; but it's so true

Peace

Answer 6

You don't like Israel ? then do not marry an Israeli woman and Imigrate here.

Don't talk about stuff you know nothing about, Israeli army do not kill woman and children, the arabs are telling lies, so you will feel sorry for them and support them, I see they managed to tricked you.

Of course we want peace, people won't go and die in the army in age 18, they could go to university and get education and be sucessful. If we had peace with all the arabs we could join the European Union and then we could get out of here.

We want peace.

Answer 7

that's funny coming from you as israel and egypt signed a peace treaty almost 30 years ago and there has been peace between the 2 ever since.

israel also gave up tons of land for that peace deal, almost 40% of its land, so it's clear that for real peace israel can and does swap land.

as far as the UN goes, you need to learn the difference between non binding general council resolutions and binding security council resolutions. i will not teach you the difference here, the research is for you to do.

Answer 8

not before Zionists spread from Nile to the Euphrates, then they will talk about real peace, but with who ???. This is what they think but it will not happen, their end is very soon, not Israelis but Zionists.

Cheers.

Edit : jacobhenrytucker : I like your answer, but I wish it was true.

85% is too goodto be true.

Answer 9

Dear sir,

   Actually israilis are capable let peace go.. And they could -very easily- provide peace for both palastinians and for themselves .. But, actually they don't want such a peace ...

Their government insist to live in war as long as they are found in this world ..

They have a holly formula ...

" jewish only have the right to live in the area .."

Answer 10

I'm afraid you are missing some essential facts in your understanding of the situation. In 1948, the United Nations divided a former British colony. The UN created Israel out of part of the British ruled land.

The next day, Israel was attacked by the armies of Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. The goal of the neighboring countries was to destroy Israel and 'push the Jews into the sea'. Through strength, desperation, and incredible sacrifice, Israel defeated the armies that tried to destroy it.

Three more times (1956, 1967, 1973), Israel's Arab neighbors made war on it and tried to push the Jews into the sea. Each time, Israel triumphed.

Even today, the official position of the Hamas government is that Israel does not exist, and that it must be destroyed.

So here is the answer to your question:

Israel wants to live in peace with its neighbors. When the neighbors of Israel accept Israel's right to exist in peace, when the Palestinian terrorists decide it is more important to build a life for the Palestinian people than to murder Israeli women and children - that's when there will be peace. Until then, Israel will defend its borders and its people with whatever means necessary.

May that day of peace come quickly - Israel is ready for it.

Answer 11

No. The only force for unity in this disparrate group of ex-Europeans is war. It is the only source of social cohesion in an artificial state.
