Re: What About Israel Murdering The Wrong Guys?
[ QUOTE ]
I see your points M, and you really put all your emphasis on this theme of minority rights in Arab nations so I have a question.
How do the lack of rights in Arab countries for Jews impede or in any way directly affect the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians?
[/ QUOTE ]
Not sure exactly what you are asking here, but I think "rights" are sometimes (often) more important than "peace."

I cannot see why you can't both denounce the treatment of Jews in Arab countries AND denounce Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and join myself and much of the world in calling for a two-state solution with a withdraw from settlements, end of occupation, and return to the 1967 borders.
[/ QUOTE ]
I have in the past posted that the Palestinians should have their own state, and that they must stop terrorist attacks against Israelis. I don't know if the 1967 borders are optimal or not, but if the Palestinians insist on launching attacks against Israel from the nearest vantage point they can acquire (which, apparently, they do), there might be something to be said for keeping that "nearest point" an extra bit further away.

This is were your one-sidedness comes into play I think. Andyfox is right, whenever you blame just one side while justifying the others side's actions you undermine the peace process just as Israeli hardliners and Palestinian extremists do.

What peace process can truly and ultimately succeed if religio-supremacist views from amongst the Arabs demand Islamic dominance over Israel and over the Jews--(and as well, actually, over all non-Muslims)?
