104. The point is that you can NOT fight an ideology with military might ...
That's why we lost in Vietnam and why we will be driven from Iraq.

The ONLY way to get people who HATE you to change and seek peaceful solutions is to grant them political power.

Israel should have the opportunity to grant citizenship to anyone who is peaceful and has a genuine desire to be a part of an INTEGRATED STATE.

When the state of Israel is truly democratic and integrated with peaceful Arab FULL citizens, with a FREE Palestine, THEN and only then will they have peace.

The answers are Public Relations, Works Projects, Political Clout and most important - INTEGRATION.

If you lift up the people of Palestine and recognize the POLITICAL side of Hamas and Hezbollah, they won't feel oppressed. Then like the IRA they will give up their weapons for political power.

War only breeds hate and increasing number of enemies for GENERATIONS to come. :(
