And the jews don't want peace so just keep killing eachother
32. We support two states

A state of Palestine and a State of Jordan. What we reject is the racist state of Israel
33. he wont
Yuval Brandstetter M ,   lehavim israel   (11.26.07)
Amos Oz will not read it, and if he does, he will not appreciate it, and if he does read, he will not understand it. Because Amos Oz and his cronies are totally divorced from reality, unless it hits them directly. If it hits an inch away, or if it kills someone else, it is not reality
34. Oz and Peress share the same disease-repression at any cost.
s.   (11.28.07)
At least Oz does not pretend (hypocritically) to be the successor of David Ben Gurion.

expressions regarding believers of other faithes. just look at their attitude towords women, towerds their own Palestinian brothers in their Arab countries. The'll nevr really let them settle down there. Racists and hypocrits.
37. Martin Sherman on Amos Oz
Rabbi Philip J Bentl ,   Hendersonville NC US   (12.19.07)
If Israel were to be guided solely by Martin Sherman's views Israel will never know peace. The glass is always half empty. All signs of hostility are true and last forever while all efforts for peace and reconciliation are false and transitory. The hostility is real but there are Palestinians who work for peace and public opinion polls show that in the end most Palestinians are willing to have their state alongside of a Jewish Israel. I trust Amos Oz' view much more than Martin Sherman's. Sherman's assertions that Oz does not know the difference between reality and fiction is simply nastiness, which is what ideologues resort to when they cannot persuade through reason.
