We have a long way to go to find a true partner that really wants peace instead of holding out for the entire piece of Israel.

In honour of Jewish law Israel should be dissolved and you should all happily wait for your messiah to come along, and if he does he will tell you it is a sin to steal.

Sputnic,

I cant even imagine where you get these distorted notions from but really meditate a little with your God and find truth and peace so that your eyes may see the light.
