On the other hand, we have in Israel, an Israeli government which has been elected by the Israeli people. Their political agenda is not for peace. They are from the camp anti-peace.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Israeli people are skeptical about the chances of a long-term peace, but if they saw it, they'd grab it. Any Israeli government that wants to be reelected should be interested in a lasting peace.
The Israelis are very smart about politics and strategy, but there are a few exceptions. One is Lebanon, the other is Gaza, where they were completely inept.
The government of Israel doesn't like the kinds of things I say, which puts them into the same category as every other government in the world.
And if we are honest we have to make a distinction between a democratic Israel that wants to live in peace and the terrorists who want Israel wiped out. The Israelis were told to give up land for peace; they gave up the land, but got no peace.
In Israel, generally speaking, politics is much more familiar than any other place. We all know each other.
The Knesset members - Jews and Arabs - don't represent the state of Israel. The government is the one that represents the state of Israel officially.
Peace is important for Israel.
We are fighting to keep Israel a democracy - not just in terms of its electoral system but also in terms of its values.
I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders.
The people of Israel are entitled, as is any other nation, to live in peace and safety.
