Jeroen <<What exactly should that "somebody" do in order to make "Muslims behave in a "civilized way"?>> Ilana << Your guess is as good as mine. I can tell what we should not do - we should not give it into their custody.>>
Jeroen <<Giving or not giving custody to the Palestinians has nothing to do with "making Muslims behave in a civilized way". These are two different matters. You can not change the overall behavior of people by giving them custody over a piece of land.>> Ilana I agree, but I meant "making Muslims behave in a civilized way on Temple Mount". I am very glad that you understand that having it or not having it will not influence their attitude to Israel. Ilana << With Palestinian state more Israeli citizens will be killed, than without it.>> Jeroen <<That is highly questionable. Those among the Palestinians who want to see Israel destroyed will fight anyway, regardless of whether or not there will be a Palestinian state.>> Ilana Borders closer to cities = more civilians killed when war will start. Ilana << And while we are on subject of UN - I discovered some days ago, that "refugee camp" is UN terminology - it's place run with UN help and under it's observation. With UN help and under it's observation Jenin was built into terrorist base. More reason for Israel to trust UN, don't you think?>> Jeroen <<Can you prove that the UN actually *helped* with the building of a terrorist base in Jenin? You cannot hold the UN responsible for something others did. Saying "they build Jenin, there is now a terrorist base there, so the UN helped build a terrorist base" is like saying "someone broke into my house and stole my TV; the house was built by the government, therefore the government is responsible for the burglary".>> Ilana They were there. They gave money. They saw that money does not go where it supposed to go. <SHRUG> Jeroen <<I sincerely hope your sentiments are not the sentiments of the Israeli population as a whole (or of the Israeli regime). Because if it is, Israel is in big trouble: you are not capable of solving your problems on your own, and you do not trust the international community to help you solve your problems.>> Ilana <SIGH> UN helped to kidnap Israeli soldiers. UN does nothing to prevent Hizballah from attacking our north border. UN helped, at least by turning blind eye, to build terrorist base in Jenin. UN accused Israel of unproper behavior in Beit Lehem when armed Palestinians were inside church, shooting from it. Israel has more than enough reasons not to trust "international community" and I hope next elections majority will show that *this* is their opinion. I hope for transfer solution - other possible solution is war and this time don't stop, don't go back and don't take any prisoners.>> Ilana
