Israel/Palestine

(6 posts)I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Israeli people who are empathetic towards the Palestinians. Thats what I'm saying, Israel cares for the opinion of the Israeli public, and public activism, protest, education by the Palestinians and more and more empathetic Israelis will effect the jewish own peoples mindset.
Most of the population aren't animals, I'm sure of that, they have the power of empathy and they can surely understand when another human being is wronged and put down and oppressed and discriminated against who is NOT DOING ANYTHING TO THEM. The same as black in US, things started to change when the white opinion started to change. Like in South Africa where things started to change when the international stance started change.
Public opinion has all the effect in the world. You don't change public opinion by war. Mass suicide and pointless killing has no effect what so ever, time has shown us that. Now its time to try the other way. What has been lost has been lost, it's time to move on, pride and religious fanaticism isn't the way of reason.
