arguments with dondu sir about Palestine & Israel

sir,

Israel was fighting for its survival until the 80s and
the end of the cold war in 1991 changed the equations.
Since the Oslo accords, Israel missed many excellent
oppurtunities to make lasting peace with Palestinians.

Isaeli politicians are like our own
communal and caste based politicians. they whip up
mass hysteria to up their careers. Netaynhu (spelling
!!) was one such guy. In 2000 he purposely visted a
controverisial area and mosque to stir up the current
infitida. His politcal career was ending and he played
a machiavillian role to re-surrect it. Pls re-read
about that.

Israeli people are as naive and gullible and
ill-informed like us. Three former Mossad chief's had
issued a joint statement some years ago, condmening
the actions of Israeli politicians in perpetuating the
violence. They argued that many actions of the state
will create further rift and create more Palestinian
anger.These there men must be knowing the
ground reality better than anyone..

US (because of the short-sighted lobbying by its
powerful Jewish lobby) blindly supported whatever
Israel did ; vetoed many UN resolutions which were
fair and correct. Bin Laden, who was sponsored by US
in the 80s turned against US mainly because of this.
Religious feelings (Islamic terrorism) is a misnomer.
after 9/11 he declared that US will know no peace
until the Palestinians do.

In my opinion, both US and Isarel acted foolishly and
arrogantly and US paid a very dear price for its
folly. I am not justifying bin laden,etc nor do i
support the Palestinian PLA blindly. But if a people
feel that injustice is meted out to them and they have
nothing to loose but thier lives,
then no one can stop suicde bombers
and rebellion.

Until and unless Israel and US understand this, there
will be no solution. and recently one Israli ex-mossad
man had asked the Palestinian leadership to bypass the
Israel govt and go to the Israeli people directly for
peace talks. Live and let live should be the motto ;
and the entire Arab world is now ready to recognise
Israel if it can recognise Palestine state.

We praise our Bhagath Singh, Vanjinathan and Subash
Bose. They were 'terrorists' in the eyes of the
British. So who is correct ? one man's terrorist is
another man's freedom fighter..

But Palestinian leadership is corrupt and divided. and
they do not seem to understand and accept the core
values of democracy...

When will all this end ?
