    Peace in Palestine? (OP)


    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas agree to deal within a year. It is assumed that any such deal would result in a two-state solution in which both a Palestinian state and Israel were seen as legitimate by each other, in addition a number of other very thorny and complicated issues would also have to be worked out.


    If you would like to see this accomplished, what do you think it will take from each side to make this a reality?

    If you are against it, what are your objections and why?

So the poll asks if you are in favor of what they are discussing? If you think that Abbas has no place making such a statement or being involved in such discussions, then that would be a reason to vote NO.
    why would it? If I came up with poll - do you think Mccain should invade Iran? would it matter if people voted yes or no even though he isnt the president of the US? same problem here. Your right this thread should be closed.

    Do you think the pious don't sin?

    They merely:
    Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
    Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
    Took ownership of it and don't justify it
    And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim

    Exclamation Re: Peace in Palestine?

    As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):


    Read my thread on The American Radical Norman Finkelstein and reality will provide you with the insights of the impossibilites of peace. Peace requires two sides to desire it. The motivation for the agents and supporters for both Palestinian people (الشعب الفلسطيني‎, ash-sha`b al-filasTīni) and Israel have no interest in Peace. Does not serve the interests of fundraising and the Billions of no strings attached support from the United States.

    American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein (2009)

    Then review the 60 Minutes episode on the City of David fallacy with Lesley Stahl that will provide another view on the impossibility of Peace:
