General Discussion

If fleeing war and violence is considered leaving voluntarily, I guess we have a very different understanding of what voluntary means.

Onto stuff we agree on. I used to strongly support a two state solution as well, and probably still do if asked what I'd do if I could solve the conflict in one fell swoop. But the reality is that Netanyahu has made sure that any hope of a Palestinian state no longer exists. How would it work? The facts on the ground that Israel's created would be virtually impossible to untangle.

Seeds of Peace is a great organisation, and it's that sort of organisation that people on DU should be supporting and defending, not AIPAC. To me AIPAC is the same sort of thing as the NRA. Just yuck and not the slightest bit interested in the well-being of Americans.

Have you heard of the Alliance for Middle East Peace? They do some amazing stuff and I think they'd be right up yr alley.

When it comes to children, I think Palestinian and Israeli kids are the way of the future and need to be able to meet up with each other and see that they're not different from each other at all.
