Obviously I was wrong. This is a place for people to tolerate each other, not a place to give others a reason to commit even more crimes against your people. You're not brave with your "resistance" and rejectionist mentality - you're causing more damage by doing that, and allowing others to effectively dehumanize you as the "enemy" and the "hater." This is a place for REAL, effective, inspiring and influential change. That is not a hippy mentality - that is someone who wants to see a stable future. I don't understand why others excuse people working towards tolerance as a hippy mentality - but that goes to say that you don't know much about this network and what we achieved so far, which is a lot. We accomplish these things with Arabs (Palestinians, Egyptians, etc), Israelis, Iranians, we do it together by leaving our differences aside. And that's what can create the right atmosphere for our lifestyles in the future. And if you read the posts by many Arabs and Iranians here, you will see that they are totally pro-Palestine, in every way. But that doesn't mean we can't respect Israeli civilians who aren't responsible for any war crimes, and average Israelis whom we consider our friend. You hate them because their only crime is being of a certain nationalisty? Do you approve it if they only hate you for being Palestinian? You need to learn how to seperate between a government and its people. Many Israelis are pro-Palestine. And even the ones who are not, they are our friends whom we should respect, because either way we need to find a manner in which we can all live together.

I'm sorry but it's not very fair to keep them out of our lives - a lot of them also agree with us, and even if not, they are still our good friends, so we shouldn't be harsh and tell them things like "fuck Israel" or "fuck Zionists." I know that they may seem very biased in their thinking but so are we, but if we ever need a solution then we better start interacting with these people... befriending them... and considering them humans so that they would consider us the same way. Please think about it, and if you don't think you can handle Israelis sharing this platform, then I'm sorry, but it is a crucial part of our network here. The Israelis here are my friends and I respect them, even though I am pro-Palestinian with Palestinian roots. I cannot rule them out of my life simply because of their nationality or who they are. Hi Mo,

I’m sorry but it’s not very fair to keep them out of our lives – a lot of them also agree with us, and even if not, they are still our good friends, so we shouldn’t be harsh and tell them things like “fuck Israel” or “fuck Zionists.” I know that they may seem very biased in their thinking but so are we, but if we ever need a solution then we better start interacting with these people… befriending them… and considering them humans so that they would consider us the same way.

On the other hand the solution cannot be violence. Not only Machiavelli pointed out that everything conquered by violence has to be defended by violence. In order to end this cruel spiral, each side has to make a step towards the other one. On the one hand it’s surely a unjust position of Israel to deny Palestinian refuges their right of return.
