Actually there are people on both sides who would like to live in peace, but wanting to live in peace and wanting to make peace are not the same thing. Sharon's Likud Party has already expressed the position that they have no intention of giving up any of the occipied territories for peace, and in fact most in that party have said they favor taking over the entire West Bank and expelling the Palestinions. Just as there are Palestinions who are unwilling to compromise, so are there Israeli's who refuse to compromise. Neither side really holds the moral high ground in this anymore, especially since Sharon has come into power.
Please explain to me why, if the Israelis only want peace, they continue to support Israeli settlers on Palestinian territory? Even though this violates a treaty they signed with Arafat in 1967.
Also how does killing civilians, destroying houses, schools, hospitals, Police stations and electricity/water supply infrastructre, help stop future terrorism?
By the way I am not an antisemite. I have Jewish friends (not Israelis) and they are actually very critical of the methods use by Israel to defend itself.
