Tel Aviv (AFP) - Thousands of Israelis rallied Saturday for fresh Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the killing of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. The demonstrators chanted "Jews and Arabs don't want to hate each other" and "Israel, Palestine, two states for two peoples" as they came together amid a new upswing in violence which makes prospects for peace in the decades-old conflict look deeply gloomy. They gathered at Tel Aviv's Rabin Square, the site where the Nobel peace laureate was gunned down by a rightwing Jewish extremist at the age of 73 on November 4, 1995.
Activist group Peace Now -- which organised the rally along with the left-wing Meretz party and others -- estimated there were some 6,000 people attending. Daniel Dojon told AFP he came "because the situation is crazy. I am not talking about safety but the lack of (political) progress, the lack of hope. Israeli politicians are becoming more and more extreme." Another protester, who identified himself only as Zeev, 67, blamed the lack of a peace process for the current violence. "It will further deteriorate if we think that being passive is the answer." Dov Kredo, 60, who attended the peace rally where Rabin was killed, came from Galilee in northern Israel, and said he feels "very pessimistic" about the current situation.
"It is much easier for people to answer the call of fear and hatred," he said...

The prophet Isaiah predicted 2700 years ago that Israel would allow liberal politicians, void of faith and knowledge of the Word of God, to take over Israel and Jerusalem and make a "covenant with death" with a world leader. Bible scholars believe this to be the 7 year agreement with the Anti-Christ (Daniel 9:27) possibly to give up their nuclear arsenal for EU/NATO membership? Jesus Christ prophesied of this agreement in John 5...but this agreement shall be annulled...
John 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive .
Wondering how many Palestinians participated in the rally for the pursuit of peace talks.
Oh, my bad. There were NONE.
Leave it to Lefty Westerners stirring up the people, trying to get Israel to fold like a deck of cards and cast themselves into the sea. All in the name of “Peace”. My Aunt Gladys could catch on to that and the Big Bad Wolf.
these are enemy agents, not “peace lovers”
they need to be elmininated ASAP, they are a dangerous cancer in an unfortunately-quite-vulnerable body
So, America isn’t the only country with liberal IDIOTS who REFUSE to recognize EVIL?
Cold comfort...
Then the peace lovers should go live peacefully among their palestinian friends.
Here’s my question: Why didn’t the Palestinian people make a nice homeland for themselves in the Gaza Strip? Israel left the Gaza Strip to give the PA it’s own, self-governing area. If they cannot do that, why does anyone think they will create a functioning Government if Israel is destroyed? Am I too simplistic in my thinking?
You are right on! Additionally, there has never been a Palestinian people, nation, language, or custom. They are Arabs, and up until 1973 they were Jordanian or Egyptian citizens.
Great map!
Liberalism is nihilistic mental illness
I agree. I think Israeli government should export those suicidal Leftists to Gaza, West Bank towns settled by Muzzies, plus other places like Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, and other Sharia-compliant places.
Their reality check will bounce in no time!
Put them at pre-checkpoints just outside the regular checkpoints. They can negotiate directly with the “Palestinians” that way.
