Path To Misery: Seeking Israel's Destruction

     Many people have a pathological hatred for Jews and Israel. They do not want any settlement between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs. They only want death, misery and the complete destruction of Israel. They do not care how many people are killed in the process.
      A road to peace starts with marginalizing those that want to keep this conflict inflamed. It starts with marginalizing those that hide their true agenda behind their support for the Palestinian cause; namely, the annihilation of Israel.
      The goal to destroy Israel has brought enormous suffering to both Jew and Arab. The continued goal to destroy Israel will bring nothing but more death, destruction, misery and poverty.
      There are not a lot of great options as to how to resolve this seemingly intractable conflict. It has to start with a period of time in which there is the renunciation of violence. This period of time will be a cooling off period of up to a decade or more. (A new generation has to be nurtured that will not be steeped in hate.) It will be a time in which there is bridge building and the cessation of hostilities. These different people living on the same small piece of land are stuck with each other. The leaders on both sides need to prepare their people for a future of coexistence. Whether this ultimately results in two states or one state can only be decided peacefully in an atmosphere of nonviolence by both sides.
        Both sides have to accept the existence of the other. Ethnic cleansing as an option must be completely rejected.
         The fiction about Israel as a European colonial state is a ploy used to keep the death and destruction going. A peaceful resolution to this conflict must recognize the legitimate rights of Palestinian Arabs and also the legitimate rights of the the hundreds of thousands of Jews (and their millions of descendents) that were ethnically cleansed and driven out from Arab Muslim majority lands.
          War, violence, terror and the continued effort to destroy Israel brings nothing but war, violence, death and misery. The road to peace will only come from nonviolence and mutual acceptance.
