Basil, regarding your fairly long reply about my comments about US and Israeli name-calling, I agree with all you say. That is what I have found in my years of looking at Palestinians and Israelis. I read IMEMC, PIC, PNN, PPN, and Ma'an daily. But...
You are right, of course, about the invalidity of the argument. That was my point as well. The only difference between us, if there is one, seems to be that I am somewhat less optimistic about the robustness of the connection between the validity ...
I think that in any case we should be clear that US intervention in Israeli affairs is permanent - in the form of civil and military aid. If people want the US not to intervene in these issues they have to ask for the stopping any other interventi...
Dear friends,
Now that some of us have gathered here, I wanted to strat a few discussions. one of them is venturing out to do speaking in Jewish communities, universities and organizations about the possibilities to be a pro peace Israeli and/ Ame...
Oh yes, I agree, we need to write more for Israeli media outlets as well. The comments just opened my eyes to the fact that for Israelis, it is easy to dismiss the sensible positions of J-Street purely on the grounds that they constitute an attemp...
Jerrold Cohen, you are correct. When Arabs or Muslims engage in violence against civilians it is labeled terrorism. When it comes to international politics we are the equivalent of black people of the 1950s in the US South or in Africa. We are gui...
Thanks Yiftah, the reactions did indeed sadden me - just proof that we need to write more, for US and Israeli media outlets...
I don't even understand what normal human behaviour and one of emotions has to do in peace process. If ever such a thing as " peace process " goes on and some sort of agreement is signed. Many of these emotions which pops up in conflicts in quite ...
"No trust - no treaty - no peace"
++ Should be : Treaty - Peace - Trust. If we start to built peace program upside down, perhaps no peace treaty in any conflict will ever exist.

The sting of all problems between Israeli and Palestinians lays in the Old City of Jerusalem. Her status has to be solved in such a way, that all parties fighting for control over her can agree upon.
On June 24, the ‘Big Hug’ will be hold in Jerusalem. Light workers from Israel, Palestine and from all over the world, ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’, will come together to bring warmth and energy to this city, embracing holding hands the Old City. If we bundle all our positive energies and bring these to Jerusalem, we can create peace to this exceptional place.
We are organizing the Big Hug to make the people aware –especially the Israeli and Palestinian inhabitants of Jerusalem- that there is a very shaped perspective for the city of Jerusalem as a city of peace: a new, undivided Jerusalem, as the capital of Palestine, Israel and at large.
Let go of the conflict concerning her command and dedicate the city to the Omnipresent. The Old City as a whole is His Temple. To give the walled Old City free to God, as a "Status Apart”, as an independent city, will be the most feasible way to come out the current impasse.
The Old City of Jerusalem must become an open city; a House of Prayer for all the Peoples. This perspective is written down in the Holy Books, this is the perspective we, as ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’ embrace as well as solution. But how many people does already notice this hopeful point of view?
What I saw in Jerusalem and also everywhere else where I meet Islamic and Jewish people is, that not so many persons really think about a future for Jerusalem. Most of the time, they stick with old ideas that the Old City of Jerusalem will always remain a part of Israel, or in opposite, that it will be absolutely a part of a new Palestinian state, as stolen land that has to be given back. With these visions, a future Jerusalem will be a divided city with an East Palestinian and West Israeli part, with barbed wire and checkpoints in between, like the situation of the city from 1948-1967. Or, coming closer to an agreement, people suggest -like proposed in the “Geneva Accord” in 2003- to make a complicated dividing of the Old City in a Israeli and Palestinian part. That will mean that the small alleys will be split by walls and barriers too. The idea that a future Jerusalem will become a divided city, is something that we have to prevent.
There are living about 250.000 Palestinian and 500.000 Israeli rather close together in one city. Do they want to make a separation of Jerusalem in parts or do they choose, deep in their hearts, for unity? So my best friends, it is our task to inform the whole city that there is an alternative for the Jerusalem of today.
All lovers of a united Jerusalem will come together to encircle and embrace the Old City of Jerusalem with love and devotion. We have to encourage all inhabitants of Jerusalem to join the coming Big Hug, with the idea of a New Jerusalem that might be realized with their support.
