Life in Israel: Peace by neglect?

A guest post by Max (Meier) Goldmeier

I had a conversation today with a Palestinian. Here is what I learned:

  • Palestinians only want peace
  • Jews have no claim to Israel
  • Hamas should drive Israel into the sea
  • Israel has no right to defend itself
  • Hamas is allowed to hide behind civilians and Israel has no right to bomb civilian neighborhoods
  • It is ok for Hamas to attack on Jewish holidays but Israel must respect Muslim holidays
  • The Jews should leave Israel
  • Hamas is not a terrorist organization
  • Israelis enjoy killing Palestinians

I was completely shocked when she said Hamas is allowed to launch rockets from civilian neighborhoods without repercussion.

So what is Israel to do?

From these conditions what options are there for peace?
  • The Jews leave or die
  • The Palestinians leave or die
None of these are good options. The only other solution I can think of is that Israel ceases to bomb Gaza. Let them launch all the rockets in the world. Israel can set up more Iron Dome units and hopefully soon the Iron Beam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhsghwyt6gk Let the missiles come in and just shoot them down. Air strikes kill too many civilians and a ground offensive would kill too many Israelis. As it is there have been no Israeli casualties and over 150 dead arabs.

Can we have peace by neglect? 

What do you think?
