Reply #15: Hmm. Your statement . . [View All]

"There will be no peace unless Israel ends the occupation."

Is not the same as saying, "There will be peace if Israel ends the occupation." Which of course is not even close to being true.

But, based on 70 years of history and thousands of statements by Hamas, IJ, Fatah, etc. both are completely wrong.

Peace will come when Palestinians stop killing Jews - and stop trying to kill Jews - and stop wanting to kill Jews. That's what it will take. Nothing else will do the job.

The occupation prevents the killing of Jews. That's why Palestinians don't like it so much.

(BTW - settlement building and the occupation are two different issues.)
