I don't doubt the Israeli kids have the best of intentions. However, this "peace" project is pure dangerous B.S. The fiction of Palestine was created for no other reason except to drive Jews from our land. There has never been a Palestine state. Nor a "Palestinian" people.

Maybe these kids can see each other for who they are and not what history has decided they have to be. This is the way to change the course of history and make their world a better place. Bravo to these kids and those that brought them together. .

And I know you also mean well. You don't want us naively dialoging our way to our own destruction. But you and others have to drop the whole "never been a Palestinian people" bit. It's totally irrelevant "what" they were called and when they arrived here. The point is there are MILLIONS of people in the Land of Israel who aren't Jews and aren't going anywhere. And while as Jews we need to protect ourselves and our State as a matter of first priority, we ALSO have to show concern for the rights and welfare of non-Jews in our midst - both as a matter of strategy and of conscience. What is truly NAIVE is calling them a "non-people" and hoping the problem just goes away.

Good intention and worth a lot to bring Jews and Arabs closer together. It doesn't mean there will ever be a palestinian state. the goal is to life in peace together. They can life in Israel. I don't see PA's shooting missals at Jordan or lebanon ... So if they want peace and a nice life they are better off in Israel anyways. My suggestion is for PA's to get out of gaza temporarily so the IDF can deal with the terrorists quick and efficiently and then we might life happily ever after ... Whether this is realistic is a different question but I'm sure one is convinced about these things at the age of 18.

Let's assume that your assertion about the 'fiction of Palestine' is correct. So what? The world comprises hundreds of 'fictional' states, thousands of 'fictional' peoples, 'fictional' cultures, etc. Better to stop living in your own fictional world where only Israel has 'legitimacy', come to terms with the fact that there are people who now identify themselves as Palestinian, and get down to some hard negotiation for a better future for everyone. These young people have recognised that breaking down barriers is difficult but they have made a start. Wonderful!

Youth have the passion and power to achieve greatness without preconceived notions, or use that power towards racism and violence. Sadly, we so both types among the "Palestinian" youth. However, if peace is to come, it will be at the hands of the unjaded youth and not the seasoned terrorists in Ramallah and Khan Younis (and Beirut, Tyre, Damascus, Cairo, Tehran, etc. etc.). I have more hope in a peaceful future when I see the youth and the business leaders get invovled, because both have very different, more pragmatic agendas.

created, the refugee camps built as british prisons, and you make Israelies negotiat for what you left behind, that is very nice, btw palis do not want to negotiate try to make them do that without pree conditions, good luck in that one, Abu mazen refuzed more than 5 times to offers during 4 Israeli gov terms left wing and right wing govs.

I seem to have a memory lapse. I don't recall having left anything for Israel to fix. Mind you, I was probably very young at the time.

#3. It is all very well to want peace. However, when one is dealing with genocidists who want to take over Israel, while mass murdering and deporting Jews, it is pure madness to pretend we have common ground. Jews have NO common ground with our would be deporters and genocidists.. How do we know this is what "Palestinians" intend? Read all their covenants. Watch P.A. TV every single day. Watch how they name public squares after terrorists. They don't even try to hide their genocidal intend. In such circumstances, Israeli youth "peace groups" resemble their 1930s Euro counterparts, who came close to handing WW II to Hitler.

by the British, in fact they r build like British prisons, in the center of every refugee camp there is the British mandatory police building. schools r really bad in the UK other wise you would know how Britis contribute to the catastrophy of today.

To #10, clearly the subtlety of my point is completely lost on you. We know what the British did, the Jews did, the Arabs did....etc. Since I do not hold you accountable for crimes committed by Israeli governments I expect a similar courtesy from you in respect of crimes committed by British governments. Unless of course you believe that Israel can do no wrong and all wrongs are therefore the fault of wicked foreigners.

odd, cause no court managed to claim that, unless it suffer from arab involvment in the last 15 years. another issue the UK ignores, the pali area isn't democratic, not that the UK is one, but at least you pretend well. btw the international law glitch that allow the uk court to law suit Israeli officials was fixed after 4 long years, the other states fixed it in 6 months up to a year. wonder if the Uk is jewish friendly, I don't think so since the community is declaining. less than 0.05% of the population. no matter how you will look at it, your country stance isn't entirely unbiased.

When you are able to articulate your point so that it can be understood I will gladly respond.
