not that i justify Israel.
but why is Israel such a hot news issue?
In sudan hundreds of thausends are killed. in rowanda the rebels have amputated limbs of many innocent civilians. The basques feel they are occupied by france and spain, the curds in Turkey, Iran and Irak are treated worse, and even in egypt and syria uprisings were treated in a more severe manner.
not even 5000 people have been killed on both sides since the stant of the intifada. In terms of world conflicts nowdays, that's nothing.
So, is European guilt part of it? I'm not sure, but it's interesting.
Having said that—I very much oppose the Israeli government and am very politically active against it. I had my work burned, ripped and I've been personally attacked for opposing the occupation.
The problem is—the international pressure should be on both sides and on the surrounding countries. The pressure on one side makes that side feel cornered. The people of Israel need to feel that there is hope for them as well. Otherwise they will just keep ignoring the international community.
how do you expect Israelis to open up to the peace process, when many Europeans say that the existence of Israel is unjustified? where are these Isarelies supposed to go to?
so—try supporting the few on both sides who want peace, instead of attacking those that don't.
give people hope and the peace camps will grow on both sides.
