"Josef Avesar advocates for a mutual third government for Israelis and Palestinians. An American-Israeli of Iraqi background, he (lives in the US, and only) travels to Israel and Palestine." With opportunist idiots like Avesar, who needs enemies?

I prefer to comment in Hebrew:
מחמאותיי, יוסף.
מאמרך משקף את דעתי והגישה שנקטת;.
שלילת השוואת המצב לריקוד הטנגו והתירוץ הנבוב,
שהקונפליקט הוא, ש"טנגו הוא ריקוד זוגות".
וכל עוד אין עניין השלום עניינם של שני צדי המאבק, לא יהיה שלום.
בהמשך לשיחתנו אמש ולאחר קראי את המאמר,
אני מציע שנקליט בשיחתנו הבאה את המאמר כולו כהרצאה בעברית.
אני מאמין שנגיע לקהל רב יותר באמצעות הווידאו מאשר במאמר הכתוב.
בברכת חג שמח,
אמנון

P.S. You have never seen tango danced in the streets of San Telmo, by anybody with anyone, in Buenos Aires."…Rigid…"Oy weih, maybe you saw Estonians, Japanese or Norwegians dance it.

Goethe said. "Es kann there Frömmste nicht in Frieden leben, wenn es dem bösen Nachbarn nicht gefällt". "Not even the most pious can live in peace if that doesn't please his evil neighbour".

Yosef, thank you for your insights on how to eliminate "tango dancing" from obstructing the peace talks. On Thursday there was a demonstration of Palestinians on Mt. Scopus next door to my home on French Hill. A few dozen Palestinian students demonstrated at the entrance to the Hebrew University campus waving a Palestinian flag, chanting slogans and demanding freedom for all Palestinian prisoners in Israel. I interviewed one of the demonstrators. She told me in fluent Hebrew that she was a student at Hebrew University and she "knows" that the University was built on land that was Palestinian and that Israel should be go back to the pre 1948 borders. Actually, the University land on Mt. Scopus was bought by Jews before 1948, but that didn't matter to her. She emphasized that she is a Palestinian living in Israel but not an Israeli.

The key to peace is to first listen what these people are saying. These are the ones with whom we have to make peace. After listening carefully, we will see that the solutions suggested by Israeli Palestinian Confederation are much more realistic than the political suggestions that have been battered around for the past decade.

Jozef, this is wishful thinking.

The arab side does not want to live in peace with Israel. It wants Israel gone. The fiction of "palestine" is simply the tool to destroy Israel.

I suggest you go back and study history.

Joseph hit the nail on the head once again in this fantastic article. The entity that does not want peace is the "Military Industrial Complex" that former US president Eisenhower warned us about that has now migrated from the US to Israel. There is no incentive for peace when so much money to be made fighting wars. The question in Israel and the US is how to make PEACETIME lucrative for the military industrial complex so they will have something better to do.
